Beyond Alzheimer’s: Navigating the Spectrum of Dementia

While Alzheimer’s disease remains the most recognized cause of cognitive decline, clinicians increasingly encounter patients whose symptoms reflect a broader spectrum of neurodegenerative, vascular, and mixed dementias. Accurate differentiation among dementia subtypes is essential for timely diagnosis, management, counseling, and optimization of patient and caregiver outcomes. This session will provide an evidence-based overview of the major dementia syndromes beyond Alzheimer’s disease. Through discussion of clinical presentations, diagnostic considerations, biomarkers, neuroimaging findings, and management strategies, participants will gain practical tools to recognize distinguishing features and navigate the complexities of dementia care across diverse patient populations.
