Research summary
This study aims to add to the current knowledge which would eventually benefit the patients participating in Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR). There have been studies done in the past emphasizing on the feasibility of referring patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in CR. However, there were some limitations which include the quality of data, limited inclusion criteria where people with moderate to severe memory loss were not part of the study and the need of a longitudinal study. Therefore, a comprehensive screening of memory is required which would include people from mild to severe cognitive impairment. Currently, cognitive assessment is not included in the core components of a cardiac rehabilitation program.
