Background: Among the various pathologies that affect elderly, Heart Failure (HF) stands out. Recently, an attempt has been made to verify existence of cognitive impairment associated with HF. Objectives: To compare performance elderly people heart failure age-matched individuals without this pathology. Check marked in some functions clinical group. Methods: The sample consisted 78 people, whos...

AIMS Cognitive dysfunction is a prevalent condition among patients with heart failure, and is independently associated with disability and mortality. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitors might increase cerebral blood flow in subjects with heart failure. Our aim was to assess whether starting treatment with ACE-inhibitors might improve cognition in patients with heart failure. METHOD...

Heart failure is a growing epidemic with an estimated 5 million Americans suffering from this condition. Several clinical trials have demonstrated a high correlation between congestive heart failure (CHF) and cognitive impairment. The severity of cognitive impairment correlates positively with the degree of CHF. The underlying mechanism for cognitive impairment remains unclear but appears to be...

BACKGROUND The long-term course of cognitive impairments secondary to cardiovascular disease (CVD) is unclear. In this study, we prospectively investigated the temporal pattern, rate and hierarchy of cognitive decline attributable to CVD--a risk factor for the development of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI)--and examined the influence of cardiac surgery and heart failure on cognitive decline...

Introduction: Reduced quality of life in cardiac patients and their frequent hospitalizations in the coronary care units is regarded as a main challenge for such patients. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the effectiveness of healthy lifestyle promotion intervention on quality of life in patients with congestive heart failure via cognitive-behavioral procedure. Methods: In this randomi...

The present study examined simultaneously the relations between cognitive reactivity to success and failure, on the one hand, and depression, manic, and bipolar tendencies, on the other hand. Participants (161 students) completed measures of success and failure reactivity, current manic and depressive symptoms, and tendencies towards depression, mania, and bipolarity. Results showed that respon...

Although Productive Failure has shown to be effective (Kapur, 2016; Loibl, Roll, & Rummel, 2017), it is not clear if failure in problem-solving necessary. Initial work a quasi-experimental setting suggests that explicitly designing for experiences of leads better learning outcomes than success. We build on this report controlled experimental study where students are exposed failure-driven, succ...
