title: [An effect of vinpocetine (cavinton) on endothelium function in patients with chronic cerebral ischemia].
abstract: The influence of vinpocetine (cavinton) on endothelium function in 87 patients with chronic cerebral ischemia has been studied. Vinpocetine exerts an endothelium protective effect which appears as a partial renewal of endothelium-dependent vasodilatation and inhibition of rejection of Willebrand factor during arteriovenous occlusion test. Leveling of neurological deficit by vinpocetine depends on the extent of renewal of endothelium-dependent vasodilatation.
