Cardiac ventricular dimensions predict cognitive decline and cerebral blood flow abnormalities in aging men.

Summary, in English

The aims of this study are to examine possible associations between left cardiac ventricular measures in sixth decade and cognitive performance, both cross sectionally and longitudinally, and to examine if left cardiac ventricular measures could predict future changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF).
