The Missing Link in the Pathophysiology of Vascular Cognitive Impairment: Design of the Heart-Brain Study

Conclusions: The Heart-Brain Study investigates relationships between (cardio-)vascular factors, the hemodynamic status of the heart and the brain, and cognitive impairment. By studying the complete heart-brain axis in patient groups that represent components of this axis, we have the opportunity to assess a combination of clinical and subclinical manifestations of disorders of the heart, vascular system and brain, with hemodynamic status as a possible binding factor.Cerebrovasc Dis Extra 2017;7:140 –152
