Abstract

The comorbidity of cardiovascular diseases and neurological disorders (referred to as “cardiac-cerebral comorbidities”) is receiving increasing attention in the field of cardiovascular surgery. The “heart-brain synergy” strategy, as a comprehensive treatment concept, emphasizes the interaction and balance between the heart and brain, offering a novel perspective for the simultaneous treatment of “cardiac-cerebral comorbidities.” This article focuses on common conditions in cardiovascular surgery and their perioperative neurological complications, elucidating the “heart-brain synergy” strategy to provide clinical practitioners with more scientific and effective treatment guidance.
