A large new study reveals that heart failure significantly accelerates cognitive decline, causing affected individuals to mentally age a decade within just seven years of diagnosis. Researchers tracked nearly 30,000 adults and found that heart failure was associated with a sharp drop in cognitive function at diagnosis and a faster decline in global cognition and executive function over time.
