Brief summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of remote ischemic preconditioning on cognitive function in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass graft.
Interventions
Remote ischemic preconditioning will be induced by four 5-min cycles of upper limb ischemia and 5-min reperfusion with a blood-pressure cuff inflated to 200 mmHg and be performed before and after the coronary anastomosis
