[67] Further, in asymptomatic cases, sudden death is considered one of the most-feared complications associated with the disease in select pediatric populations.

A thorough systematic review found that indeed there is a link between a CHD condition and brain dysfunction in females. [114] Consequently, since research is showing that cardiovascular diseases, like CHD, can play a role as a precursor for dementia, like Alzheimer's disease, individuals with CHD should have a neuropsychological assessment. [115]
