Abstract
Patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) are identified by Russian and foreign experts as a risk group for moderate vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) and vascular dementia. As a result of various pathogenetic mechanisms, patients with MI develop the so-called cardiac cerebral syndrome, which makes a significant contribution to global cognitive impairment in this group of patients. The impact of MI on the risk and progression of cognitive impairment is one of the key links in improving the prognosis and quality of life in patients after MI. The aim of the review was to analyze the incidence of moderate VCI and vascular dementia in patients with MI in the acute and late periods.

- Vascular dementia and vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) are an interdisciplinary problem, and its comprehensive study can make it possible to develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to reduce the burden of vascular dementia for families and society.
- There is no consensus on the relationship between acute myocardial infarction and the risk of moderate VCI and vascular dementia.
- Based on the presented studies, a significant relationship was found between myocardial infarction and the development and progression rate of moderate VCI and vascular dementia.
