Abstract
Vascular factors to cognitive impairment in degenerative on non-degenerative diseases have been reported, examined, and debated for several decades. The various definitions of cognitive impairment due to vascular origins will make these results diverse. During this review, we are going to report currently update information of vascular contributions to cognitive function, in clinical or neuro-imaging findings. Risks factors and their managements also will be discussed and reported to have a comprehensive review.
