[Plasma levels of cyclic AMP and catecholamines in ischemic cerebrovascular disorders].

We evaluated in this study the relationships between the clinical course of patients affected with ischemic cerebrovascular diseases and plasma catecholamine and cAMP levels. We compared two groups of acute and chronic patients. These results show a different behaviour of plasma catecholamine and cAMP levels. This hematochemical parameter might assume a distance prognostic significance.
