Is depressed systemic perfusion associated with cognitive deficits in older adults with heart failure?
Depressed systemic perfusion is associated with cognitive deficits in older adults with heart failure, suggesting a potential mechanism for cognitive impairment in this population.
Findings suggest that depressed systemic perfusion is associated with cognitive deficits among patients with heart failure. Research including measures of cardiac function, cerebral perfusion, and cognition will be necessary to clarify the causal nature of the suggested mechanism.
Hoth et al. (Sun,) studied this question.
