Cardiovascular diseases involve a continuum starting with risk factors, which can progress to coronary heart disease and eventually, to heart failure. Cognitive impairment (CI) is observed as early as cardiovascular risk factors, and in up to 50% of patients with heart failure. Because CI in cardiovascular disease is linked to poorer clinical outcomes, early detection is essential. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a screening tool widely used in clinical setting. To date, little is known about MoCA scores along the cardiovascular disease continuum.

沿心血管疾病连续谱的蒙特利尔认知评估的表现

心血管疾病涉及从危险因素开始的连续体，其可以发展为冠心病，最终发展为心力衰竭。认知障碍（CI）最早出现在心血管疾病的危险因素中，在多达50％的心力衰竭患者中也是如此。由于心血管疾病中的CI与较差的临床结果相关，因此早期检测至关重要。蒙特利尔认知评估（MoCA）是一种在临床环境中广泛使用的筛查工具。迄今为止，关于心血管疾病连续体的MoCA评分知之甚少。
