Welcome to the first episode of From Paper to Practice, a podcast series of the International Journal of Stroke and the World Stroke Academy. Join Dr. Ahmed Nasreldein and Dr. Vera Yuan Cai as they discuss the recently published WSO Vascular Dementia Factsheet 2026 and why vascular dementia is a critical - and often overlooked - clinical and public-health priority. With dementia prevalence rising rapidly worldwide, vascular pathology plays an increasingly central role in determining who develops cognitive impairment, how early it appears, and how preventable it may be. Drawing on the latest evidence, this episode explores the true global burden of vascular dementia, its frequent coexistence with neurodegenerative diseases, and the urgent need for better recognition, standardized diagnosis, and stronger prevention strategies.
