Abstract EN
Prevalence studies have noted the cooccurrence of cognitive decline and depression in persons with heart failure.
Cognitive impairment is associated with significant mortality and deteriorated quality of life, likely due to impairments in memory and executive function, which impact a patient’s ability to understand and comply with prescribed treatment plans.
This is especially true in complex diseases such as heart failure.
Evidence from literature supports the possibility of a pathophysiological relationship between cognitive impairment, depression, and heart failure.
Yet, very few studies have sought to investigate this relationship.
This paper reviews current literature on the association between depression and cognitive impairment in persons with heart failure and explores possible mechanisms explaining this complex triad.
