[Clinico-hemodynamic evaluation of the efficacy of vasoactive and cardiotonic agents in the combined treatment of arteriosclerosis patients with chronic cerebral circulatory insufficiency].

In 370 atherosclerotic patients with chronic cerebrovascular insufficiency (CCVI) the authors have investigated the cerebral (by rheoencephalography) and the systemic (by diluting Evans blue) haemodynamics before and after correcting it with papaverine, euphylline, complamin, cavinton, corglycon, strophanthin, and sulfocamphocaine. They have also specified the characteristics of the action of the drugs studied, as well as indications and contraindications for their use in chronic CCVI treatment. The given therapy optimizes the current methods of rehabilitation of patients with chronic cerebrovascular insufficiency, ensures clinical improvement in 89.5% of cases (by 18.5% more than in the control group) and reduces the period of hospitalization by an average of 3.6 days.
