Exercise helps boost heart failure patients’ memory
Heart patients who exercise regularly and have better fitness are
likely to have less cognitive impairment, says a study. Fitter patients
have better memory, it adds.
“The message for the patients with heart failure is to do exercises,” said study author.
The study analysed data from over 600 male patients, aged 67-71 years, with heart failure from six countries. During the research, the “Montreal Cognitive Assessment” test was used to measure cognitive function and exercise capacity was measured with a six-minute walk test.
The results showed the younger and better educated heart failure patients with better fitness were significantly less likely to have cognitive impairment.
Two-thirds of the patients with heart failure had cognitive problems, showed the study.
According to the study, cognitive dysfunction is a common problem in the patients with heart failure with 67 per cent reporting at least mild impairment.
“There is a misconception that patients with heart failure should not exercise. That is clearly not the case,” the Dr. said.
“Find an activity you enjoy and which you can do regularly. It could be walking, swimming or any other activities. There is good evidence that it will improve your health and memory, and make you feel better,” the Dr. said.
