These results suggest that CAD patients with SH in CH tracts improve less than those without SH in CH tracts, over 48 weeks of cardiac rehabilitation. Thus, SH in CH tracts may contribute to longitudinal cognitive decline following a cardiac event and may represent a vascular risk factor of cognitive decline. © 2017 The Authors.
