No: Make sure if vascular dementia is diagnosed inyour family, that your blood pressure is alright. If you have a family history of vascular dementia and do not take care of your high blood pressure, you are more likely to get vascular dementia eventuallly than the average person. This is something you can totally avoid.

Not helpful: Vascular dementia is caused by multiple strokes, usually each fairly small, and best to protect with an anti platelet drug, such as clopidigrel, or aggrenox. But, many older pts also, have mixed dementia, alzheimer's plus vascular problems. Symptomatic relief may require galanttamine or donepezil.

Not much: Vascular dementia is caused most commonly by small strokes and oxygen would help only in the acute phase.
