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 ...

Complement activation and cardiac surgery: a novel target for improving outcomes.

Other Anesth Analg · October 2012 Complement activation and the resulting inflammatory response is an important potential mechanism for multisystem organ injury in cardiac surgery. Novel therapeutic strategies using complement inhibitors may hold promise for improving outcomes for cardiac ... Full text Link to item Cite

Cognitive function after major noncardiac surgery, apolipoprotein E4 genotype, and biomarkers of brain injury.

Other Anesthesiology · April 2010 BACKGROUND: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a significant cause of morbidity after noncardiac surgery. Identified risk factors are largely limited to demographic characteristics. We hypothesized that POCD was associated with apolipoprotein E4 ... Full text Link to item Cite

Cerebral embolization during cardiac surgery: impact of aortic atheroma burden.

Other Br J Anaesth · November 2003 BACKGROUND: Aortic atheromatous disease is known to be associated with an increased risk of perioperative stroke in the setting of cardiac surgery. In this study, we sought to determine the relationship between cerebral microemboli and aortic atheroma burd ... Full text Link to item Cite

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

Other Anesth Analg · July 2002 Featured Publication 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 ...

Preliminary report of a genetic basis for cognitive decline after cardiac operations. The Neurologic Outcome Research Group of the Duke Heart Center.

Other Ann Thorac Surg · September 1997 BACKGROUND: Changes in memory and cognition frequently follow cardiac operations. We hypothesized that patients with the apolipoprotein E-epsilon 4 allele are genetically predisposed to cognitive dysfunction after cardiac operations. METHODS: The apolipopr ...
