Abstract 135: Complementary-Medicine Prevention of Alzheimers Disease by Blackcurrant Extract Session Title: Abstract Poster Session I and Reception
Conclusion: The flow experiments show that membrane filtered BCE clearly improved endothelial function by an additional NO release, while ethanol extracted did not. This vasodilatation together with the reduction of Alzheimer nanoplaques may have a beneficial effect on cognitive functions in dementiae of the Alzheimer type, in prevention of TIA and stroke.

Incidence and Predictors of Cognitive Decline in Patients with Left Ventricular Assist Devices Original Articles
Conclusions— Cognitive decline occurs commonly in patients in the year after LVAD and is associated with older age and destination therapy. These results could have important implications for patient selection and improved communication of risks before LVAD implantation. Additional studies are needed to explore the association between cognitive decline and subsequent stroke, health status, and mortality in patients after LVAD.

Abstract 1: Incidence and Predictors of Cognitive Decline in Patients with Left Ventricular Assist Devices Session Title: Concurrent Session IB: Oral Abstracts - QCOR Young Investigator Awards
Conclusion: In a large LVAD registry, cognitive decline occurred in over a quarter of patients in the year after LVAD and was associated with older age, renal disease, higher baseline cognitive function, and more stable heart failure at implant. These results define the frequency of an important adverse event and provide new insights regarding outcomes after LVAD. Future studies are needed to explore the association of transient and permanent cognitive decline with subsequent stroke, health status, and mortality in patients after LVAD placement.
