“…1 Minasian et al reported that 81% of their patients were current or former smokers, which may explain the presence of AO and the bronchodilator response in this group. 1 In addition 14% of their patients had signs of congestion on chest radiograph. 1 This improvement in pulmonary function should be interpreted cautiously, since other reports indicate the presence of bronchial hyperreactivity in patients with pulmonary congestive changes (PCO).…”

“…1 None of the patients was reported to have central sleep apnea with Cheyne-Stokes breathing (CSA-CSB). 1 Sleep disorder breathing (SDB) may result in CI 3 and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), 4 and these two consequences may lead to poor medications adherence. SDB was present in 47e76% of HF patients reported in a review by Sharma et al, 2 with SDB not only manifested as OSA, but more commonly as CSA-CSB.…”

SummaryPrevalence of heart failure is increasing, especially in the elderly population. Noncardiac comorbidities complicate heart failure care and are increasingly common in elderly patients with reduced or preserved ejection fraction heart failure, owing to prolongation of patient's lives by advances in chronic heart failure (CHF) management. Common comorbidities include respiratory disease, renal dysfunction, anemia, arthritis, obesity, diabetes mellitus, cognitive dysfunction, and depression. These conditions contribute to the progression of the disease and may alter the response to treatment, partly as polypharmacy is inevitable in these patients. Cardiologists and other physicians caring for patients with CHF need to be vigilant to comorbid conditions that complicate the care of these patients. There is now more guidance on management of noncardiac comorbidities in heart failure, and this article contains a comprehensive review of the most recent updates on management of noncardiac comorbidities in CHF.

“…In one study on 251 outpatients with stable heart failure, cognitive impairment was found in 58% of the sample. Immediate and delayed verbal memory was the most impaired cognitive domain 29 . The results of a study by Almeida et al showed that adults with heart failure had a worse immediate and longterm memory and psychomotor speed than healthy controls.…”

We aimed to determine whether there is an association between cognition and the results of echocardiography and angiography, based on neuropsychological assessments. Methods: We assessed the cognition of 85 patients who had recently undergone coronary artery angiography. We calculated the Gensini score for the coronary artery disease index. We also performed echocardiography to find indices of cardiac functioning. Results: The lower left ventricular ejection fraction correlated with lower scores on visuospatial, executive function, processing speed/attention and verbal memory capacities (p ≤ 0.05). A higher Gensini score and left atrial size correlated with lower executive function and processing speed/attention (p ≤ 0.05). In the group of patients with an impaired cognitive state, higher Gensini scores correlated with decreased processing speed/attention (p = 0.01) and the e' index was associated with lower capacity of executive function (p = 0.05). Conclusion: Decreased processing speed/attention and executive function may correlate with cardiac dysfunction and coronary artery disease. The Color Trail Test may be considered for simple screening for cognitive problems in elderly patients with coronary artery disease or diastolic dysfunction.
