Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

James' laboratory test shows evidence of cerebrovascular disease, which is a type of vascular disease affecting blood vessels in the brain. His neurocognitive symptoms may be due to this vascular disease, leading to a diagnosis of neurocognitive disorder due to vascular disease. Alzheimer's disease is also a common cause of neurocognitive disorder, but there is no indication that James has the characteristic brain changes associated with Alzheimer's. Down syndrome and tachycardia are not relevant to the symptoms described.
