Aim: A Review of literature on Ischemic Heart Disease and Risk of Development of Cognitive Disorders Methods: The literature search was conducted in Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, and CINAHL. The search string consisted of predictor-related terms (i.e. myocardial infarction, angina pectoris), outcome-related terms (i.e. dementia, Alzheimer, cognition), as well as some specific limitations. All publications until 2021 were included if they fulfilled the following eligibility criteria: 1) MI, AP, or a CHD variable that is a combination of MI and AP (e.g. ischemic heart disease (IHD) as predictor variable; 2) Cognition, cognitive impairment or dementia as outcome; 3) Population-based study; 4) Prospective (≥1 year follow-up), cross-sectional or case-control study design; 5) ≥100 participants; and 6) Aged ≥45 years. Reference lists of publications and secondary literature were hand-searched for possible missing articles
