Abstract

This article reviews the evidence available from natural history studies and randomized clinical trials (RCT) concerning what is now coined as amnestic MCI and vascular MCI and will answer the question about the similarity and difference of their progression toward dementia. The issues to be resolved prior to the use of a survival design for conversion from vascular MCI to dementia will be discussed.
