Rom J Neurol Psychiatry. 1992 Jul-Sep;30(3):189-96.

Abstract

The study investigated the evolution of 72-nifedipine treated cases with ischemic stroke. Dipyridamole was administered to 72 controls. Subjects showed clinical improvement, thus calcium blockers can constitute a therapy alternative. A good influence of nifedipine was remarked in blood pressure.
