“…In a NC comparison of ESHF patients with an ejection fraction of 20% or less with likely candidates for LVAD support, the LVAD candidates showed more dramatic cognitive changes in domains representing processing speed and verbal and visual memory before implant. 25 In our previous report, patients who underwent NC evaluations during BTT support showed significant but limited improvement between 1, 3, and 6 months in NC domain performances, as seen in visual memory, executive functioning, visual spatial perception, and processing speed. 14 No significant declines occurred in any NC test in any domain during these intervals.…”

“…Whereas baseline pre-implant assessments would be preferred, obtaining measurements in extremely ill patients becomes problematic with data collection, limiting it to the least sick and most able ESHF population. 28 In addition, the confounding effects of surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass would be difficult to separate. A measurement at 30 days post-implant offers a greater chance of obtaining more data and a larger sample size in a more stable condition.…”

“…One study compared NC function in HF outpatients and hospitalized HF patients receiving inotropic therapy to pre-implant LVAD candidates, with findings showing more global impairments within the latter group. 28 The purpose of this investigation was to provide NC measures as part of the evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of a continuous-flow LVAD as (BTT) in ESHF patients who were at imminent risk of death.…”

“…The measure is easily administered and discriminates between mild, moderate, and severely impaired patients [37]. A cut-off of 16 was used to screen out those who would not be able to provide informed consent while at the same time not eliminating patients with only mild impairment, which is common among patients with chronic HF [41].…”
