The search period covered from the inception of each database to December 2025. Two researchers independently conducted study screening, data extraction, and methodological quality assessment.

Meta-analysis showed that the pooled prevalence of cognitive impairment in patients with chronic heart failure was 39.3% (95% CI: 31.0%\u201347.7%). Further analysis identified age, age\u2009\u2265\u200980 years, New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification, comorbidity burden, polypharmacy, malnutrition, and depression as significant risk factors for cognitive impairment in this population. Higher educational attainment, engaging in physical exercise \u2265 3 times per week, and regular participation in intellectual activities were confirmed as protective factors against cognitive impairment in patients with chronic heart failure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Current evidence confirms that cognitive impairment is highly prevalent among patients with chronic heart failure, and its occurrence is influenced by multiple modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. Therefore, clinical healthcare providers should strengthen routine cognitive function screening for this population, and implement targeted interventions based on the identified risk factors to delay the onset of cognitive impairment and improve overall patient prognosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Systematic Review
