The Neurocognitive Changes Following Cardiac
Surgery Workshop is co-sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute
(NHLBI), National Institute for Neurological
Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), and the National Institute on Aging (NIA) The
workshop will be held in the Cloister Mary Woodward Lasker Center on NIH Campus
in Bethesda, Maryland on April 4 and 5, 2002.
Neurocognitive decline following heart surgery has
emerged as an important clinical problem and requires colleagues in multiple
disciplines to review surgical techniques and approaches and methods of
neuroprotection in order to determine how best to reduce adverse neurologic
events following surgery. This workshop is designed to encourage an exchange of
ideas and novel strategies among experts in relevant basic and clinical
investigations.
The workshop will provide:
a forum to assess the state-of-the-art
an opportunity to define the magnitude of the problem and measures of
neurologic outcomes an opportunity to discuss surgical issues and
neuroprotection a forum to discuss future research needs and
opportunities
The overall charge to the workshop will be to develop
recommendations to the NHLBI, NINDS and NIA on future research strategies,
opportunities, and needs that will reduce neurocognitive decline following
heart surgery.
