Abstract
Patients (65) undergoing cardiac valve replacement were followed for 1 yr by EEG. Occurrence of delta or sharp wave disturbances or low frequency of dominant activity before operation had prognostic significance. The degree of EEG change after operation correlated with clinical signs of cerebral involvement and predicted the later course.
