Heart failure is one of the most frequent causes predisposing to cognitive impairment where its prevalence varies from 25 to 80% of cases. In this review, the mechanisms of microcirculatory abnormalities, which play a potential role in the development of cognitive impairment in patients with heart failure, are considered. Understanding of these mechanisms will help in the development of targeted therapy of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
