9781848728790 English 1848728794 Cardiovascular disease ' the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in most westernized nations ' confers risk for stroke, vascular dementia, and Alzheimer "s disease. In the first edition of this volume, it was demonstrated that even among stroke and dementia-free persons, several traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease, plus a spectrum of cardiovascular diseases and their medical and surgical treatments are associated with brain abnormalities and neurocognitive difficulties. The second edition of this work reveals the vast expansion of research in this area of investigation, and covers relations to brain and neurocognition of a series of behavioral, biomedical, and psychophysiological risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Chapters link literature on cardiovascular diseases and their treatments. Also covered are cardiovascular risk factors and their potential mechanisms of influence on dementia pathogenesis. Neuropsychology of Cardiovascular Disease, 2ndEdition is a resource for professionals and students in neuropsychology, behavioral medicine, neurologists, cardiologists, epidemiologists, gerontologists, nurses, and other health care professionals who work with patients with, or at risk for, cardiovascular disease. It also set future research agendas, and offer clinicians direction in the assessment of patients with cardiovascular diseases., Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States and most westernized nations. Both CVDs and their risk factors confer substantial risk for stroke and dementia, but are also associated with more subtle changes in brain structure and function and cognitive performance prior to such devastating clinical outcomes. It has been suggested that there exists a continuum of brain abnormalities and cognitive difficulties associated with increasingly severe manifestations of cardiovascular risk factors and diseases that precede vascular cognitive impairment and may ultimately culminate in stroke or dementia. This second edition examines the relations of a host of behavioral and biomedical risk factors, in addition to subclinical and clinical CVDs, to brain and cognitive function. Associations with dementia and pre-dementia cognitive performance are reported, described, and discussed with a focus on underlying brain mechanisms. Future research agendas are suggested, and clinical implications are considered. The volume is a resource for professionals and students in neuropsychology, behavioral medicine, neurology, cardiology, cardiovascular and behavioral epidemiology, gerontology, geriatric medicine, nursing, adult developmental psychology, and for other physicians and health care professionals who work with patients with, or at risk for, CVDs., Cardiovascular disease - the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in most westernized nations - confers risk for stroke, vascular dementia, and Alzheimer's disease.
