Mild cognitive impairment in patients with acute heart failure does not limit the effectiveness of early phase II cardiac rehabilitation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is commonly performed in patients with heart failure (HF) with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, whether MCI diminishes the benefit of early phase II CR is unclear.

Aim

This study aimed to clarify whether MCI diminishes the benefit of early phase II CR in patients hospitalized for HF.

Design

The design of the work is a case-control study.

Setting

All HF patients who underwent CR in acute care hospitals in Japan from April 2016 to March 2021.

Population

Among the 574 patients who underwent CR, 204 were included in this study. Exclusion criteria were age <65 years, dependence for activities of daily living (ADLs) prior to admission, diagnosis of dementia or delirium, mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score
