Özet

Background: Increasing evidence implicates voltage-dependent sodium and potassium channels, in addition to calcium channels of various types, in the pathophysiological development of cerebral vasospasm. This study investigated the ability of LTG, an antiepileptic drug with multi-ion channel inhibition properties, to prevent cerebral vasospasm and subsequent neural ischemia in a rabbit model of SAH.
