Am I a Pumpheader?
Recently had cardiac bypass surgery and not feeling like yourself? Our two-minute screening test can help you identify common symptoms related to Postprofuson Syndrome. While this is not a diagnosis or a substitute for medical advice, taking our screening can help you talk with your doctor about the symptoms you are experiencing.
What is Pumphead?
Postperfusion syndrome, or "pumphead," leads to subtle neurocognitive issues from cardiac surgery's bypass. Symptoms include deficits in attention, concentration, memory, fine motor skills, and response speed. Pumphead is often overlooked, misdiagnosed, and even dismissed, leaving bypass surgery patients with minimal support for their symptoms.
