Cognitive Impairment in Heart Failure
Cognitive impairment (CI) is increasingly recognized as a common adverse consequence of heart failure (HF). Although the exact mechanisms remain unclear, microembolism, chronic or intermittent cerebral hypoperfusion, and/or impaired cerebral vessel reactivity that lead to cerebral hypoxia and ischemic brain damage seem to underlie the development of CI in HF. Cognitive decline in HF is characte...
متن کاملCognitive impairment in heart failure patients
Cognitive damage in heart failure (HF) involves different domains thus interfering with the ability for single patient to self-care and to cope with treatment regimens, modifying symptoms and health behaviours. Many cerebral and functional changes were detected in brain imaging, involving areas of both grey and white matter deputed to cognition. Although various instruments are available to exp...
متن کاملHeart failure and cognitive impairment: Challenges and opportunities
As populations age, heart failure (HF) is becoming increasingly common, and in addition to a high burden of morbidity and mortality, HF has an enormous financial impact. Though disproportionately affected by HF, the elderly are less likely to receive recommended therapies, in part because clinical trials of HF therapy have ignored outcomes of importance to this population, including impaired co...
متن کاملCognitive impairment in epilepsy: State of affairs and clinical relevance
The consequences of epilepsy are often as serious as having the disorder itself. One particularly important consequence is the impairment of cognitive function. Cognitive function is a higher order behavior–—that is, the capacity of the brain to program adaptive behavior, solve problems, memorize information, and focus attention. Epilepsy is a symptom of ictal and interictal brain dysfunction. ...
متن کاملCognitive impairment and self-care in heart failure
BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) is a prevalent chronic disease in older adults that requires extensive self-care to prevent decompensation and hospitalization. Cognitive impairment may impact the ability to perform HF self-care activities. We examined the association between cognitive impairment and adherence to self-care in patients hospitalized for acute HF. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. ...
