Overview
Brief Summary
Stroke can lead to signficiant neurological deficits, and about one-third of stroke patients will be diagnosed of vascular mild cognitive impairment or post-stroke dementia. Post-stroke dementia includes all types of dementia that happen after stroke, irrespective of their cause, and vascular dementia (VaD), degenerative dementia (especially Alzheimer's disease), or mixed dementia (dementia as a result of the coexistence of vascular lesions of the brain and neurodegenerative lesions) are the most common causes of post-stroke dementia. However, it is difficult to determine to what extent cognitive impairment may be attributable to stroke versus concomitant Alzheimer disease. With the advent of PET imaging technique, we are able to conduct a multi-modal neuroimaging study to explore the composite influence of vascular injury, amyloid plaque and Tau protein the the cognitive performance after stroke.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Imaging positive and negative conditions
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1.5 year
PET images are visually assessed by independent raters, who are nuclear medicine doctors and blinded to all clinical and diagnostic information. The raters classify each scan as 0-1 (no significant uptake)、2 (suspicious uptake)、3-4 (significant uptake). The score \>= 2 is deemed as positive condition.
CDR score of cognition deteriorating group and stable group
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1.5 year
The CDR is a 5-point scale (0、0.5、1、2、3) used to characterize six domains of cognitive and functional performance applicable to Alzheimer disease and related dementias: Memory, Orientation, Judgment \& Problem Solving, Community Affairs, Home \& Hobbies, and Personal Care. The necessary information to make each rating is obtained through a semi-structured interview of the patient and a reliable informant or collateral source (e.g., family member). Global score 0 = Normal、0.5 = Very Mild Dementia、1 = Mild Dementia、2 = Moderate Dementia、3 = Severe Dementia. The cognition deteriorating group is defined as CDR score declines from 0 or 0.5 at Month 3 to \>=1 at Month 18. The cognition stable group is defined as CDR score remains at 0 or 0.5 at Month 18.
