Key result
Study tests whether adding memory screening to cardiac rehabilitation improves early cognitive impairment detection.
Why the study?
The risk factors of cardiac disease and dementia are similar, and it is unclear whether adding memory assessment to cardiac rehabilitation improves early detection of cognitive impairment.
Does adding memory assessment to a cardiac rehabilitation program improve early detection of cognitive impairment in people after an adverse cardiac event?
Cross-Sectional (n=200)

Does adding memory assessment to a cardiac rehabilitation program improve early detection of cognitive impairment in people after an adverse cardiac event?
This study protocol outlines a cross-sectional approach to evaluate whether integrating the Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination into cardiac rehabilitation improves the early detection of cognitive impairment.
Protocol proposes cognitive screening in cardiac rehab without results; leaves open whether it improves early detection after adverse cardiac events.
Introduction Cardiac Rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary intervention for people after an adverse cardiac event to improve their physical, psychological and social functioning. The risk factors of cardiac disease and dementia are similar. This cross sectional study aims to determine whether adding memory assessment to a cardiac rehabilitation program would improve early detection of cognitive impairment. Methods and Analysis Participants will undergo cognitive assessment by using Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination (ACE-III). The data obtained will be divided into: - 1- Participants who had a history of memory problems before and after the adverse cardiac event. 2-Participants with no history of memory problems before and currently presents with cognitive impairment. 3-Participants with no memory problems before and after the adverse cardiac event. Ethics and dissemination Study ethical approval has been granted by Sheffield Research Ethics Committee (reference 20/YH/0146) and the NHS Health Research Authority (project reference 273763).

Jamali et al. (2021) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular disease undergoing cardiac rehabilitation (n=200). Cognitive assessment (ACE-III) was evaluated on Prevalence of cognitive impairment. This is a study protocol aiming to determine whether adding memory assessment to a cardiac rehabilitation program improves early detection of cognitive impairment, with no results reported yet.
