[Early diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Implementation in the doctor's office].
The efficacy of antidemential agents proven in comprehensive studies and by clinical experience, now justifies an active and positive approach by the general physician to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with dementia. The proposals on how to implement diagnostic and therapeutic measures in the doctor's office comply both with medical quality criteria and the requirements for appropriateness of treatment and considerations of economy stipulated by German law. They therefore provide the basis for a modern diagnostic work-up and treatment strategy, which will also meet economical demands.
