Cerebral Ischemia and Calcium [Paperback]

Although many books deal with isolated problems of calcium disturbance in relation to cardiac and cerebral function, this is the first to focus specifically on calcium metabolism and cerebral ischemia. Internationally acknowledged experts present recent data and new concepts in an interdisciplinary approach to the subject. They examine basic information on the pathophysiology of cellular events, the damage caused by excitotoxic substances, and the effects of calcium antagonistic drugs as measured in experimental animals. These contributions may help lead to possible therapeutic interference for the prevention of calcium imbalance.Pharmacology of Calcium and Cerebral Ischemia.- Cerebral Ischemia: Pathophysiology and Biochemistry.- Experimental Cerebral Ischemia and Calcium.- Clinical Cerebral Ischemia and Calcium.- Migraine.- Epilepsy.- Brain Protection.- Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.- Various.
