title: [Ketanserin, an antagonist of 5-HT2 serotoninergic receptors and free-radical scavenger].
abstract: The authors describe an original clinical method of auscultatory percussion which is easily performed and reliable for bedside evaluation of tissue Co Q10, tissue acidosis, endothelial damage, free radicals and microcirculatory functional reserve. They report data observed in 25 arteriosclerotic patients treated with ketanserin which show the drug to be an excellent scavenger of free radicals.
