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.
