In the past, we have discussed the impact of [1] pumphead on patients after cardiac bypass surgery. However, Science Daily is now reporting that Johns Hopkins researchers have other ideas about the cause of the cognitive deficiencies after heart surgery.

The report reads, “Heart patients often experience lasting problems with memory, language, and other cognitive skills after bypass surgery. However, these problems aren’t caused by the surgery itself or the pump used to replace heart function during surgery, a new study by Johns Hopkins researchers suggests. The findings may lead to better approaches to prevent cognitive decline regardless of which treatment heart disease patients receive.”
