Thinking and memory after heart procedures
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how heart procedures (bypass surgery or stenting) affect thinking and memory. It will test your brain function before and after the procedure to see if there are any changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need to be scheduled for a heart procedure to restore blood flow: either bypass surgery (CABG) or stenting (PCI), decided by you and your doctor beforehand.
- You cannot be having a heart valve procedure at the same time.
- You have not had bypass surgery or valve repair/replacement before.
- You have not had a stent placed in the past year.
- You must be able to do a tablet-based thinking and memory test and agree to return for follow-up testing.

This study looks at whether mild memory or thinking problems before heart surgery can affect recovery, specifically the chance of experiencing confusion after surgery. It aims to help patients and doctors plan better care.
This study checks how a carotid artery procedure affects thinking and memory. You may be able to join if you’re an adult with significant carotid artery narrowing seen on ultrasound, and you can safely do follow-up MRI scans.
This study looks at how heart valve treatment may affect thinking and memory. It involves tests before and after the procedure to see if patients improve.
This study follows patients after heart bypass surgery to see if their thinking and memory change. It aims to understand how common memory problems are after surgery and what factors might affect them.
This trial tests whether brain-focused cognitive training before elective heart surgery can help reduce memory and thinking problems afterward. If you qualify, you may do language-based thinking exercises and complete short brain tests around the time of surgery.
This study looks at how changes in blood flow (called venous congestion) after heart surgery might affect thinking and memory. It aims to find out if there is a link between how blood returns to the heart and brain function after surgery.
