Current readings: neurocognitive impairment and clinical implications after cardiac surgery

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
Phillip J Tully, Robert A Baker

Abstract

The earliest reports of cardiac surgery literatures reported evidence of neurocognitive decline, highlighted in the 1995 statement of Consensus on assessment of neurobehavioral outcomes after cardiac surgery. Until now, the magnitude and clinical importance of neurocognitive outcomes continues to fluctuate and lack clarity. The aim of this review is to evaluate the contemporary status of neurocognitive outcomes in relation to pre-existing impairment, revascularization strategy, broader cardiovascular pathophysiological processes, and any longer-term clinical implications. Five studies published between 2009 and 2013 were reviewed. A meta-analysis did not find differences between on- and off-pump procedures. In other studies, there was evidence for extensive preoperative neurocognitive impairments. Additional 2 studies showed that longer-term neurocognitive impairment, including dementia, was not dissimilar to nonsurgical patients with cardiovascular disease. Currently, there is no convincing evidence to suggest that cardiac surgery, and cardiopulmonary bypass in particular, has a causal role in progression to dementia, or long-term deficit, independent of pre-existing neurocognitive impairments and cardiovascular disease.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Cardiovascular Inflammation

Inflammation plays a significant role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, an understanding of these endogenous processes is critical for evaluating the risks and potential treatment strategies. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular inflammation here.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Auditory Perception

Auditory perception is the ability to receive and interpret information attained by the ears. Here is the latest research on factors and underlying mechanisms that influence auditory perception.

Carotid Artery Diseases

Carotid artery disease is a group of pathological conditions of the carotid artery. Discover the latest research on carotid artery disease here.
