The Relationship Between Cognitive Status and Exercise Capacity, Fatigue Perception in Coronary Artery Patients

Overview

The study aimed to examine the relationship between cognitive status, exercise capacity, and fatigue perception in coronary artery disease patients.

Exercise training for patients with coronary artery disease is an essential element of multicomponent cardiac rehabilitation. For the successful implementation of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation programs, adequate cognitive function (e.g. executive function, selective attention, memory) is an important prerequisite. In patients with atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, the presence of coronary microvascular dysfunction as determined by low coronary flow reserve is associated with abnormal cerebral flow hemodynamics and mild but significant impairment in cognitive function. In the literature, there is no study examining the relationship between cognitive level and fatigue perception.
