Mild Cognitive Impairment, Dementia, and Alzheimer’s Disease

Mild Cognitive Impairment, Dementia, and Alzheimer’s Disease

Guest: Ronald C. Petersen, M.D., Ph.D.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. (@ChutkaMD)

Nearly six million people in the United States age 65 and older have Alzheimer’s Disease; of these about 80% are 75 years old and older. It is a devastating disease, not only for the patient, but also for the family of the patient involved. Unfortunately, currently available treatment for Alzheimer’s has been disappointing. Cure or even stability of the cognitive loss is not possible. The topics for today’s podcast include mild cognitive impairment and dementia, focusing on Alzheimer’s Disease, and our guest is Ronald C. Petersen, M.D., a Mayo Clinic neurologist and specialist in Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementias. We’ll discuss the evaluation, the current available treatment as well as what might be on the horizon in the management of this disease.
