Cerebrovascular autoregulation is resistant to calcium channel blockade with nimodipine
1Cerebrovascular Research Laboratory, VA Medical Center, Houston, Texas.
Abstract:
In normal baboons cerebrovascular resistance changed along with blood pressure to maintain blood flow constant. This 'autoregulation' was not significantly altered in animals treated with a dose of the calcium channel blocker nimodipine causing selective cerebral vasodilation.
