This study tests whether a simple, non-drug, non-surgical program before heart surgery can help protect your brain. It is for people with heart disease who are at higher risk for problems like stroke after surgery.
This study looks at whether brain inflammation during heart surgery may affect memory and thinking. It includes people aged 60 and older who are having planned heart surgery.
This study is looking at how well the brain regulates its blood flow during heart surgery and whether that affects the chance of becoming confused (delirium) after surgery. Researchers want to find ways to prevent delirium in older adults having heart surgery.
This study uses a brain wave recording device (EEG) during heart surgery to see if it can predict short-term confusion or memory problems after the operation. It may help doctors find and treat thinking issues earlier.
This research examines how sleep issues before heart surgery may affect how well patients recover afterward. Researchers will study blood markers and chemical changes to better understand this connection and potentially improve surgical outcomes.
This study monitors your heart rate and brain waves during and after brain surgery to see if they can help doctors predict how well you will recover. It aims to improve care for future patients.
