Article Synopsis
- Heart failure (HF) patients often face cognitive deficits, and when combined with sleep apnea, the effects on cognition may be even more pronounced.
- A study involving 172 older adults tested cognitive functions like attention and memory, revealing that those with both HF and sleep apnea performed worse than those with HF alone.
- These findings suggest that the combination of HF and sleep apnea could increase the risk of cognitive impairment, highlighting a need for further research on how these conditions interact and impact patient outcomes.
