Congestive heart failure 
A thiamin deficit can cause irregular motor functioning in the heart. Congestive heart failure is a disorder in which the heart is unable to efficiently pump blood throughout the body. Thiamine insufficiency affects 21 percent to 98 percent of persons with congestive heart failure. 
 
Cognitive function 
Thiamin insufficiency has been linked to neurological issues such as cognitive deterioration in studies. The Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome is a type of thiamin deficiency that causes mental alterations comparable to Alzheimer's disease.
