[Vasoactive and cardiotonic drugs in the treatment of initial manifestations of cerebrovascular insufficiency in occlusive diseases of major blood vessels of the head].

Abstract

Patients (n = 118) with initial manifestations of brain blood supply failure induced by stenoses and occlusions of the main vessels of the head were treated by cardio- and vasoactive drugs (corglycon, strophanthin, sulfocamphocaine, euphylline, cavinton, verapamil) under control of the systemic (by Evans blue dilution according to Stewart-Hamilton) and cerebral (by rheoencephalography and ultrasound dopplerography) hemodynamics. As a result of such treatment policy, the number of cases with a complete reverse development of the symptomatology was 16.8% greater than in analogous situations where no therapy with the method proposed was carried out.
