Baseline Dementia Prevalence and Subtypes in Older Adults Hospitalized With Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Multicenter Study From a Large Integrated Health Care Delivery System

These findings highlight the baseline burden of dementia in this high-risk population and support the need for future research on the incidence and progression of cognitive impairment after ACS.
