Cognitive dysfunction in congestive heart failure: transcranial Doppler evidence of microembolic etiology Disfunção cognitiva na insuficiência cardíaca congestiva: evidência de etiologia microembólica ao Doppler transcraniano

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) a...
