Ask the Doctor: I was very upset to read about the high rates of abnormal brain function that follow cardiac surgery. I've had two angioplasties, and my doctors say that I may need to have bypass surgery in the future. If I undergo this operation, is there anything I can do to reduce my chances of having a stroke or a memory problem afterward?
