This survey shows that both subtle neurological abnormalities and magnetic resonance imaging lesions can be found in a high percentage of patients with coronary atherosclerosis. Furthermore, this study indicates that without a standardized preoperative neurological examination, postoperative neurologic dysfunction cannot necessarily be ascribed to perioperative events.
