Your father is suffering from chronic microvascular ischemic changes resulting from involvement of small blood vessels.
Microvascular ischemic changes are due to ischemic changes resulting from blood vessels changes in diseases like hypertension,diabetes mellitus,dyslipidemia.
So,he need monitoring of conditions that leads to ischemic changes like hypertension,altered lipid profile,diabetes mellitus.
He need investigations like routine hemogram,RBS,LFT,RFT,Lipid profile,ultrasound of abdomen.
Central and cortical involutional brain changes are age related changes.
Hope i have answered your query.
