Heart surgery brain fog: scientists hunt for a blood test to predict it
NCT ID NCT07231731
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 48 older adults having heart bypass surgery to see if a small molecule called microRNA-151-5p is linked to memory and thinking problems after the operation. Researchers measured levels of this molecule and inflammation in the blood before and after surgery, and tested thinking skills daily. The goal was to understand why some people experience cognitive decline after heart surgery and find early warning signs.
