POSTER 11 Neurocognitive functioning in acute coronary syndrome: ventricular ejection fractions and kynurenic acid Page 1 5 8 Introduction: The factors that underlie the association between neurocognitive dysfunction in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are extensive and far from being understood. The study of the degradation of tryptophan through the kynurenine pathway (KY) in this context offers a wide avenue for research [1]. Objetives: To determine the relations between sociodemographic, cardiovascular risk factors and clinical and biochemical variables, including the KY metabolites, with neurocognitive functioning after ACS. Moderation effects regarding those relations will be determined. Material and Methods: The Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination-III (ACE-III) was administered to 24 participants with history of ACS, selected at the cardiology outpatient consult. Univariate analysis was performed through …
