Eight studies on sacubitril\/valsartan (ARNI, <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200942,143; all observational studies or post\u2010hoc analyses of RCT) found either no effect on cognitive function or reduced risk of new\u2010onset dementia and improved cognitive outcomes with ARNI. Beta\u2010blockers (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200940; 1 RCT) lacked significant cognitive effects; empagliflozin (SGLT2i, <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009162; 1 prospective) improved cognitive performance in patients with diabetes and HF with preserved ejection fraction; digoxin (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091172; 1 retrospective) was associated with enhanced cognitive function; and statins (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009112,357; 2 retrospective), which are indicated in HF of ischemic aetiology, were not associated with a significant effect on cognition.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Guideline\u2010recommended HF medication classes appear to have neutral effects on cognitive function, and some may even offer cognitive benefits.
