Popis: The management of patients with cognitive impairment (CI) is one of the urgent problems of modern medicine. Vascular CI (VCI) is the second most common cause of dementia after Alzheimer's disease. The diagnosis of VCI is based on the results of a neuropsychological examination, the presence of clinical and neuroimaging signs of cerebrovascular disease, and the absence of data for other causes of CI. Socio-psychological methods, stroke prevention, correction of vascular risk factors, and stimulation of patients to regular physical and mental activity are of leading importance in the management of patients with VCI. The effectiveness and safety of citicoline in VCI are discussed.
