SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The contributions of this book are based on presentations made at the Second International Symposium on Nimodipine held in Miami Beach, Florida, USA, on April 25-28, 1990. The Symposium dealt primarily with the results of recent clinical studies on the effects of nimodipine in acute neurological disorders: acute ischemic stroke, cerebral resuscitation following cardiac arrest and head trauma.
