Cognitive Functioning and Biological Differences in Heart Failure: A Matter of Sex or Disease?

The occurrence of cognitive deficits is higher in patients with heart failure (HF) than in age-matched control subjects. Cognitive deficits are known to affect quality of life and self-care abilities, and increases the hospitalization risk and mortality rate, adding to the complexity of the disease.
