Criteria for diagnosis and classification of vascular cognitive impairment

https://doi.org/10.14412/2074-2711-2022-6-131-138

Abstract

Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is a very diverse group of conditions that differ in etiopathogenesis, severity, clinical picture, dynamics and severity of functional disorders. This heterogeneity significantly complicates the development of uniform standardized recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of VCI. The development of criteria for each clinical and pathogenetic variant for permanent practical application is a difficult task. In this article, based on the analysis of previously proposed approaches to the diagnosis of various clinical and pathogenetic variants, common diagnostic criteria and classification of VCI are presented.
