No, Subcortical dementia is caused by small vessel disease. Small vessel disease can happen when vessels deep inside your brain become completely blocked as a result of a lacunar stroke. The resulting damage may progress to subcortical dementia.

No. It depends on what was affected (the area of the brain affected by the stroke) and it depends on how severe it was and how soon they got treatment when the stroke started. Some people ignore the warning signs and wait too long to seek medical help.

No, stokes occur in different parts of the brain, some are completely recoverable. Dementia is a global pathological brain problem, while stokes are specific to the blood vessel blocked.

No. I knew a lady who had a stroke and recovered to continue working.
