Exploring blood markers related to delirium after heart surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the relationship between serum biomarkers and the occurrence of delirium in patients following cardiovascular surgery. It focuses on the role of histone lactylation and Alzheimer's disease-related markers in understanding the mechanisms behind postoperative delirium. By analyzing serum samples, the study aims to identify potential biomarkers that could predict or explain delirium in this patient population. The findings could enhance our understanding of delirium and its inflammatory connections in the context of cardiovascular procedures.
