Why the study?
Does heart failure associate with reduced regional brain cortical thickness compared to controls?
Does heart failure associate with reduced regional brain cortical thickness compared to controls?
Heart failure patients exhibit significantly reduced regional cortical thickness in multiple brain areas, suggesting chronic tissue alterations potentially related to hypoxia/ischemia and impaired cerebral perfusion.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
HF-associated cortical thinning may underlie cognitive/autonomic deficits; leaves open causal mechanisms and clinical utility of neuroimaging.
Kumar et al. (2015) studied this question.
