OBJECTIVES: We hypothesized that candidate gene polymorphisms in biologic pathways regulating inflammation, cell matrix adhesion/interaction, coagulation-thrombosis, lipid metabolism, and vascular reactivity are associated with postoperative cognitive deficit (POCD). BACKGROUND: Cognitive decline is a common complication of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and is associated with a reduced quality of...
