For the past 2 years, a client has had increasing difficulty remembering the events of the day, but has been able to recall events from the distant past. The client's motor skills have slowed, despite the absence of arthritis. Recent echocardiography showed the presence of atherosclerosis and the client experienced a myocardial infarction earlier this year. Which neurologic condition does the client most likely have?
