Abstract

Trans-Radial Catheterization (TRC) has becoming the most popular coronary intervention and proved as safe and efficient procedure. As previous studies reported risk of CVA after TRC, we want to assess the cognitive function in TRC patients. The cognitive function was assessed by Addenbrooke’s cognitive examination and Mini mental state examination. The ACE questionnaire consists of five cognitive domain scores such as attention and orientation (18 points), memory (26 points), fluency (14 points), language (26 points), and Visio-spatial (16 points). . In our study, the scores of Attention and orientation are more in before procedure (15.3±2.93) compared to after procedure (14.52±3.03) (p=0.006). The scores of memory are more in after procedure (22.28±3.42) compared to before procedure (17.85±5.27) (p=0.000). The scores of fluency are more in before procedure (6.96±2.83) than after procedure (6.01±3.74) (p=0.003). The scores of language are little more in after (24.65±2.28) compared to before (24.3±2.51) (p=0.134) procedure. The scores of visuospatial are more in before (12.7±2.45) compared to after procedure (9.79±3.22) (p=0.000). The overall ACE scores are more in after procedure (76.7±10.5) compared to before procedure (75.6±11.8) (p=0.326). The MMSE scores are more in after (28.11±1.37) compared to before TRC procedure (26.15±1.91) (p=0.000). The cognitive function abnormality was there before the TRC (may be anxiety related), but improved after TRC.
