Alzheimer's or vascular dementia, how to tell the difference?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good question: The answer is too complex for a quickie but ad is a slower but definite progression until death. Vd is often sudden (stroke) but if no further strokes occur, may not progress or plateaus between. Many more differences covered well here: http://www.Alzheimers.Org.Uk/site/scripts/documents_info.Php?Documentid=133 best!
