Modifiable Risk Factors for Cognitive Dysfunction in Patients With Coronary Heart Disease

This observational study is tracking people with coronary heart disease to see which risk factors are linked to cognitive decline. Researchers will use brain and heart scans, blood tests, sleep monitoring, and cognitive assessments on about 2,352 hospitalized patients in Beijing. No treatment is being tested — this is a study watching and measuring, not intervening. The phase is unspecified because it is an observational study, not a drug or device trial.
