According to WHO, about 16.7 million people in the world die every year from
cardiovascular diseases, including coronary heart disease (CHD). CHD is a leading
disease in incidence and mortality in the general population [1,2]. One of the most
important treatments of coronary heart disease is coronary artery bypass grafting
(CABG), which's been one of the most commonly performed surgeries for more than
30 years. The main purpose of the operation includes: extending the patient's life,
reducing the somatic symptoms associated with CHD, and improving the quality of
life. However, CABG patients frequently experience neurocognitive complications as
a result of the surgery. The current level of development of cardiac technology has
resulted in a significant reduction of severe neurological complications. At the same
time, mild postoperative neurological disorders (primarily, cognitive decline) remain a
widespread problem [3].
