“…The findings also suggest that individuals with HFpEF have more depressive symptoms compared with individuals with no history of HF. Given the high prevalence of depressive symptoms in HFpEF [66][67][68] and the association between depressive symptoms and cognitive impairment, [69][70][71] screening for depressive symptoms should be incorporated into clinical practice.…”

“…D uring the past decade, it has been increasingly recognized that deficits across multiple domains of cognitive function are commonly experienced by those with major depressive disorder (MDD) and mediate poor psychosocial and workplace outcomes. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Moreover, insufficient outcomes in MDD are observed in persons who are "euthymic," underscoring the mediational role of other nonmood MDD domains in determining health outcomes. 4,[7][8][9][10] The mediational role of cognitive function in affecting health outcomes in MDD invites the need for direct assessment of cognitive functions with tools that are freely available, computerized, user-friendly, and patient-administered that provide actionable information.…”
