Being a carrier of the APOE4 gene variant is associated with higher rates of the most common type of dementia, late-onset dementia. Of those with late-onset dementia, up to 65% are carriers of the APOE4 gene variant 1. Of those with late-onset dementia, up to 65% are carriers of the APOE4 gene variant 1. What to do?

We previously found that large PFO shunt is associated with increased long-term risk of vascular dementia. Our previous research revealed that PFO shunt enables the accumulation of homocysteine in circulation (Deng, Neurology 2021). However, the mechanism underlying this association remains poorly understood.

Introduction:Visual impairments occur frequently in patients with cerebrovascular disease, particularly with carotid artery disease, which contributes to the development of vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementias (VCID). These visual difficulties can be caused by the effects of dementia on the brain or an eye condition.
