Abstract
Cognitive impairment (CI) is one of the most common recurring chronic
conditions among elderly people. Congestive heart failure (CHF) is recognised as
an important cause of CI, not only in the elderly but also in younger people. Cardiac
devices such as cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), implantable cardioverter
defibrillator (ICD) and pacemaker (PM) are frequently used in HF patients and
might modify cognitive functioning in different ways.
This chapter describes how cardiac devices could influence cognitive functioning
in HF patients and how CI could impact the management of heart failure.
