ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how patients feel and function after having open heart surgery. Specifically, it will assess their physical health, thinking abilities, and brain activity. The study involves patients from Egypt who are 60 years and older and are scheduled for certain types of heart surgery, like bypass surgery.

To participate, patients must not have a history of brain diseases or severe cognitive issues, and they should be able to cooperate during tests that measure brain activity. Those who join the study can expect to undergo various assessments after their surgery to help researchers understand how the surgery affects their recovery. This information could be important in improving care for future heart surgery patients.
