Key result
HF is linked to cognitive impairment, anatomical brain changes, poorer functional independence, and increased mortality.
Why the study?
Pathophysiological pathways linking HF and CI have been proposed, but these mechanisms are poorly understood.

May support cognitive evaluation in heart failure; confirms outcome links while leaving mechanisms open.
This review highlights that cognitive impairment is common in heart failure, associated with poorer clinical outcomes, and driven by mechanisms such as cerebral hypoperfusion and systemic inflammation.
Goh et al. (2022) conducted a review in Heart Failure and Cognitive Impairment. Heart failure is associated with cognitive impairment, anatomical brain changes, poorer functional independence, and increased mortality, with underlying mechanisms remaining poorly understood.
