Objective cognitive P300 auditory evoked potential measurements indicate that cognitive brain function is significantly impaired in patients suffering from stable end-stage heart failure. Successful cardiac transplantation is effective to fully normalize impaired brain function. Subsequent relative long-term decline of cognitive brain function after successful cardiac transplantation is strongly suggested to be related to cumulative cyclosporine neurotoxicity.
