Abstract EN
Subcortical vascular dementia is a clinical entity, widespread, even challenging to diagnose and correctly treat.
Patients with this diagnosis are old, frail, often with concomitant pathologies, and therefore, with many drugs in therapy.
We tried to diagnose and follow up for three years more than 600 patients.
Study subjects were men and women, not bedridden, aged 68–94 years, outpatients, recruited from June, 1st 2007 to June, 1st 2010.
We examined them clinically, neurologically, with specific consideration on drug therapies.
Our aim has been to define gait and imbalance problem, if eventually coexistent with the pathology of white matter and/or with the worsening of the deterioration.
Drug intake interference has been detected and considered.
