  1. Complications were cardiac morbidity (myocardial infarction, pulmonary edema, adult respiratory distress syndrome and cardiogenic shock); neurologic morbidity (major focal deficit); all-cause mortality; functional decline (>5 point decline in physical component summary measure of the SF-36); and neurocognitive deterioration (within-patient differences on an 11 test neurocognitive battery).
