title: [The influence of vincamine on global and regional cerebral blood flow in acute and subchronic human cerebral ischimia (author's transl)].
abstract: The alterations in global and regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) following i.v. application of 14,15-dihydro-14beta-hydroxy-[13alpha,16alpha]-eburnamenine-14-carbonic acid methylester (vincamine) were studied in 18 patients suffering from acute or subchronic cerebral ischemia. CBF measurements were made after intra-arterial injection of 133Xe using a multi-detector measuring instrument. 30 sec after a single i.v. application of 30 mg/20 min vincamine a statistically significant increase of CBF by 1.5 ml/100 g/min was found, corresponding to 6.1% (p less than 0.01). The regional CBF was influenced to a varying degree, the areas marked by an insufficient blood supply showing a mean increase by 13.4% and the areas marked by normal basic values showing a mean increase by 5.3%. This difference in alteration is statistically significant (p less than 0.02) comparing the differences as percent. The duration of the action of vincamine on the CBF, after a single dose of 30 mg/20 min i.v., was determined for a maximum of 15 min. The CBF values measured within 15 min after the completed i.v. application of vincamine showed a mean decline in blood flow values by --2.5 ml +/- 7.4%, which is statistically insignificant.
