This study is a double-blinded, randomized controlled trial. A total of 200 CHD patients with mild cognitive impairment will be recruited after the screening. These patients will be randomized to two arms under masking. The intervention arm will receive multi-domain adaptive cognitive training using a tablet. The control arm will receive an active control treatment and use the same tablet to receive the cognitive training tasks with weak difficulty change. Both arms will receive the same intervention dosage for 12 weeks, 5 times a week, and 30 minutes per time. After the 12-week intervention, the intervention arm will be re-randomized into two groups. One group will stop their intervention at 12 weeks; the other group will continue to receive the multi-domain adaptive cognitive training till the 24-week follow-up assessment.~The neuro-psychological assessment will be administered at baseline, 12-week, and 24-week assessments for all participants. The structural and functional MRI will be administered at baseline, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks to evaluate the effect of cognitive training on brain structure and function.
In this study, a randomized controlled study based on cognitive training was conducted in patients with coronary heart disease and cognitive impairment but without dementia， to evaluate the effectiveness of computer-based digital therapy in improving the cognitive function of such patients.
