May warrant cognitive screening in heart failure; supports association but high-quality evidence remains sparse.
Systematic Review
Is congestive heart failure associated with cognitive impairment compared to controls?
Congestive heart failure is associated with generalized cognitive impairment, including memory and attention deficits, though high-quality evidence is sparse.
Almeida et al. (2001) conducted a systematic review in Congestive heart failure. Congestive heart failure vs. Controls was evaluated on Cognitive functioning (attention, memory, general cognitive functioning, rate of cognitive impairment). Congestive heart failure is associated with a pattern of generalized cognitive impairment that includes memory and attention deficits, based on a pooled analysis of 5 studies.
