Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the unclear incidence of cognitive impairment or dementia in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and identifies associated risk factors.* -
- A systematic search of 23 studies involving 2,620 patients revealed that the incidence of cognitive issues was notably high, especially within the first month and after one year post-surgery, with rates of 35.96% and 39.13%, respectively.* -
- Hypertension was found to be a significant risk factor for cognitive impairment shortly after CABG, highlighting the need for further research to develop strategies to mitigate these cognitive issues post-surgery.*
Cognitive impairment (CI) shares common cardiovascular risk factors with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and is increasingly prevalent in our ageing population. Whilst AMI is associated with increased rates of CI, CI remains underreported and infrequently identified in patients with AMI. In this review, we discuss the evidence surrounding AMI and its links to dementia and CI, including pathophysiology, risk factors, management and interventions.
