Abstract

We evaluated effectiveness of using copyrighted computer-based stimulation programs in the correction of cognitive function in patients with coronary heart disease after coronary bypass surgery.A total of 74 patients were examined, all the patients underwent a course of drug therapy, 37 patients underwent a course of rehabilitation in addition to medical therapy using computer-based stimulation programs (1 time per day for 20 min within 10 days). A course of rehabilitation using computer-based stimulation programs in patients with coronary heart disease after coronary bypass surgery was proved to be an effective way of correcting cognitive function.

Keywords: Cognitive impairment; Computed trainings; Coronary artery bypass surgery.
