Cognitive dysfunction in congestive heart failure: transcranial Doppler evidence of microembolic etiology
2006
Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria
Cognitive symptoms are common in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and are usually attributed to low cerebral blood flow. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate global cognitive function (Mini Mental State Exam MMSE) in relation to both cardiac function (evaluated by echocardiogram) and cerebrovascular hemodynamics (evaluated by transcranial Doppler TCD) in CHF patients. In 83 patients studied, no correlation was found between echocardiographic parameters and MMSE scores. In
