Loss in Mental Processes Linked to Heart Failure

In a report from Medline Plus, loss in mental processes is found to be linked to heart failure. If a severe cardiovascular condition prevents you from continuing to work, you could be eligible to receive Social Security disability benefits.

A new study finds that gray matter in the brain is lost with heart failure. This is the part of the brain responsible for memory and other mental functions. When there is a loss in this, it could make it difficult for patients to remember to take their medication or otherwise follow instructions.

Additionally, the study found that those with heart failure also had reduced reaction speeds. This was in comparison to those who had no heart problems. Furthermore, it was also found to impact individuals with ischemic heart disease. Cognitive abilities appear to be impacted with both of these types of heart conditions.

Heart failure and heart disease can become debilitating. It may result in an individual being permanently disabled or at least out of work for a year. If this is the case, then Social Security disability benefits could be available.

To learn what your rights are and if you qualify to receive disability benefits, you should speak with an attorney
