The pathophysiology of cognitive impairment in individuals with heart failure: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Heart Failure and Cognitive Impairment are both on the rise and shown to be interlinked. Despite existing reviews delineating a relationship between heart failure and cognitive impairment, the underlying pathophysiology is not researched in great depth. Current literature proposed varying pathophysiological mechanisms and focused heavily on the prevalence of cognitive impairment and treatment interventions such as cardiac rehabilitation. In view of the limitations of previous reviews, this systematic review summarized the best existing evidence concerning different pathophysiological mechanisms behind cognitive impairment in individuals with heart failure.

Methods

Eight electronic databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library and EMBASE etc., two grey literatures
