Neuropsychological performance values represent the difference between last follow-up visit and baseline visit performances. Data presented as interaction term (cardiac output x time to follow-up). Analyses performed on 306 participants. Models were adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, body surface area, Framingham Stroke Risk Profile minus age, and APOE-ε4 status. Bolded values represent significant findings. All neuropsychological performance values are total correct excluding timed tasks measured in seconds (s). *Models that meet the significance threshold after applying the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure. †Higher values reflect worse performance.
