Abstract
Calcium channel blockers such as diltiazem are being explored as agents to reduce or prevent cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Yet little is known concerning changes over time in the calcium ions in the arterial wall after subarachnoid hemorrhage even when calcium channel blockers are used. The results imply that the massive increase of calcium ions in the smooth muscle cells in the early stages of SAH may be related to morphological changes in the spastic vessels in the subacute stage of SAH and calcium ion blockers might be useful in reducing organic changes in the vessels by the inhibition of calcium overloading.
