Overview
Current research interests include:
1. The relationship between white matter patency, functional connectivity (fMRI) and neurocognitive function following cardiac surgery.
2. The relationship between global and regional cortical beta-amyloid deposition and postoperative cognitive decline.
3. The effect of lidocaine infusion upon neurocognitive function following cardiac surgery.
4. The association between genotype and outcome after cardiac surgery.
5. Atrial fibrillation following cardiopulmonary bypass.

Neurocognitive Dysfunction After Short (<20 Minutes) Duration Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest.
Journal Article Ann Thorac Surg · February 2025 BACKGROUND: It has long been held that the safe duration of hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) is at least 25 to 30 minutes. However, this belief is based primarily on clinical outcomes research and has not been systematically investigated using more sen ...

Journal Article Anesth Analg · January 1, 2025 BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with increased dementia risk, yet its role in postoperative neurocognitive disorders is unclear. Here, we studied whether the severity of untreated obstructive sleep apnea is associated with the severity of ...
