Thursday, September 26, 2002Heart Surgery and Brain Damagecomment []
New Scientist. New ultrasound treatment for filtering fat from blood after a heart operation. Yikes. I haven't heard about this before:Two thirds of patients undergoing major heart operations suffer some form of mental impairment afterwards, such as a reduced ability to perform mental arithmetic or remember phone numbers. In half of these patients the problems are permanent. The cause is still controversial, but most researchers think that minute fat droplets lodging in the blood vessels of the brain are responsible. It is thought these block the supply of oxygen to tiny clusters of nerve cells.[
