Key result
Acute myocardial infarction contributes to global cognitive impairment and increases the risk of moderate vascular cognitive impairment and vascular dementia.
Why the study?
Patients with acute myocardial infarction are at risk for vascular cognitive impairment and vascular dementia via cardiac cerebral syndrome, making understanding cognitive outcomes important for prognosis and quality of life.
This review highlights the importance of recognizing and managing vascular cognitive impairment and cardiac cerebral syndrome in patients following acute myocardial infarction.
Alerts clinicians to post-MI cognitive risks; leaves open optimal management pending prospective trials.
Patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) are identified by Russian and foreign experts as a risk group for moderate vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) and vascular dementia. As a result of various pathogenetic mechanisms, patients with MI develop the so-called cardiac cerebral syndrome, which makes a significant contribution to global cognitive impairment in this group of patients. The impact of MI on the risk and progression of cognitive impairment is one of the key links in improving the prognosis and quality of life in patients after MI. The aim of the review was to analyze the incidence of moderate VCI and vascular dementia in patients with MI in the acute and late periods.
