Vascular Kv7 (KCNQ) Potassium Channels As Therapeutic Targets in Cerebral Vasospasm
<p>Cerebral vasospasm, a grave sequel to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), is characterized by prolonged severe constriction of arteries in the base of the brain, including the basilar artery. Spasmogens (serotonin, endothelin and vasopressin), elevated in response to SAH, induce persistent …
