G protein-coupled receptor kinase 5 gene polymorphisms are associated with postoperative atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting in patients receiving β-blockers.

Other Circ Cardiovasc Genet · October 2014 BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that genetic variations in the adrenergic signaling pathway and cytochrome P450 2D6 enzyme are associated with new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting and were treated with pe ...

Serum creatinine patterns in coronary bypass surgery patients with and without postoperative cognitive dysfunction.

Other Anesth Analg · July 2002 UNLABELLED: Renal dysfunction is common after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. We have previously shown that CABG procedures complicated by stroke have a threefold greater peak serum creatinine level relative to uncomplicated surgery. However, ... Full text Link to item Cite

The rewarming rate and increased peak temperature alter neurocognitive outcome after cardiac surgery.

Other Anesth Analg · January 2002 UNLABELLED: Neurocognitive dysfunction is a common complication after cardiac surgery. We evaluated in this prospective study the effect of rewarming rate on neurocognitive outcome after hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). After IRB approval and info ...
