Effect of Intravenous Nimodipine on Blood Pressure and Outcome After Acute Stroke

Abstract

DBP, but not SBP, reduction was associated with neurological worsening after the intravenous administration of high-dose nimodipine after acute stroke. For low-dose nimodipine, the results were not conclusive. These results do not confirm or exclude a neuroprotective property of nimodipine.
