Abstract:	Existing epidemiological tests known presently in Romania show that memory diseases are common, on top of those diseases hovering Alzheimer’s disease, followed, in order, by vascular dementia, mixed dementia, fronto-temporal dementia and parkinsonian dementia. The study sought to evaluate cognitive disorders in the context of cardiovascular diseases in eldery. Cardiovascular pathology is the number one cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly, primary place belonging to hypertensive pathology. A prospective study was initiated and the aim was to determine the prevalence of vascular dementia in a population of patients with cognitive deterioration and changes on CT-imaging appearance, following, also, by evaluation of clinical implications.Discussions of the findings showed up issues concerning the delimitation of vascular dementia diagnosis.
Keywords:	computed tomography, vascular lesions, vascular dementia, risk factors, prevention.
