nifedipine and Intracranial Arteriosclerosis

nifedipine has been researched along with Intracranial Arteriosclerosis in 7 studies

Nifedipine: A potent vasodilator agent with calcium antagonistic action. It is a useful anti-anginal agent that also lowers blood pressure.

Intracranial Arteriosclerosis: Vascular diseases characterized by thickening and hardening of the walls of ARTERIES inside the SKULL. There are three subtypes: (1) atherosclerosis with fatty deposits in the ARTERIAL INTIMA; (2) Monckeberg's sclerosis with calcium deposits in the media and (3) arteriolosclerosis involving the small caliber arteries. Clinical signs include HEADACHE; CONFUSION; transient blindness (AMAUROSIS FUGAX); speech impairment; and HEMIPARESIS.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
") test was used to study the effect of a calcium inhibitor, Nifedipine, on middle cerebral artery smooth muscle and its cerebrovascular effects in 28 subjects: 8 cases of hypertension, 9 of sylvian artery stenosis confirmed by arteriography (5 approximately equal to 30% and 4 greater than or equal to 50%) and 11 healthy volunteers."3.67[Transcranial Doppler study of sylvian vascular reactivity as affected by a calcium inhibitor. Preliminary results apropos of 28 cases]. ( Bertrand, P; De Bray, JM; Jeanvoine, H; Joseph, PA; Maugin, D, 1987)
"Nifedipine was demonstrated to potentiate relaxation effect of prostacyclin at the level of sarcolemmal calcium transport, while cavinton and dipyridamole had an analogous influence, redistributing calcium in the intracellular stores."1.27[Effect of prostacyclin on the cerebral vessels and its pharmacological modification]. ( Akopov, SE; Balaian, BG; Gabrielian, ES, 1986)
