Adults with coronary heart disease may be more prone to cognitive decline than those without such cardiac problems, a study suggests.

This was true whether patients had had a myocardial infarction or angina.
For about 12 years, researchers followed more than 7800 adults in the UK, starting when they were on average, 62 years old.
