Summary
The primary aim of our prospective, randomized, double-blind interventional clinical trial is
to determine the effectiveness of high dose atorvastatin therapy to reduce post operative
cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in patients undergoing cardiac valve surgery. We hypothesize
that therapy with high dose atorvastatin will significantly reduce the incidence and/or
severity of POCD.
