Summary: 

Many patients with heart failure experience cognitive deficits like memory loss. In this first study of brain training for heart failure-related cognitive problems, researchers found that a group of patients who completed 12 weeks of Posit Science brain training exercises significantly improved delayed recall memory, list learning, and speed of processing versus an active control group.
