The interaction between Alzheimer's and vascular disease is the focus of a new initiative that is hoped to lead to development of therapies for treating and preventing dementia. . . ."While we have known at the population level that vascular disease increases the risk of dementia or Alzheimer's disease we haven't defined the links between these two conditions at a molecular level," . . . "We are going to try and understand what is happening with the basic science. This initiative is bringing together the cardiovascular and dementia research worlds into the same space to make this happen. This is just the start of the conversation."
