AB  - OBJECTIVES: Chronic heart failure (CHF) has been associated with an increased 
      risk of poorer cognitive performance in older adults. Reversibility of cognitive 
      impairment after medical treatment has been reported, although the restorative 
      effects of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) on cognitive performance 
      have not been studied. We investigated the effect of EECP on cognitive functions 
      in CHF patients. STUDY DESIGN: Thirty-six individuals (mean age: 66+/-8 years) who 
      were diagnosed with CHF and were New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II-III 
      and Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) Class II-III participated in this 
      study. Neuropsychological assessment was performed in these patients. RESULTS: 
      Patients in the EECP treatment group showed a statistically significant 
      improvement in spontaneous naming (p=0.011) and forward row score of the 
      attention subset among domains of cognition (p=0.020) and interference time of 
      executive function (p=0.012). CONCLUSION: Enhanced external counter pulsation 
      resulted in improvement in all domains of cognitive functions except verbal and 
      visual memory tests.
