Henry Ford Hospital Doctors Study Viagra (Sildenafil citrate) As Stroke Treatment
9 01 2008
Henry Ford Hospital doctors have begun studying Viagra as a possible treatment for strokes. The study will focus on Viagra’s effect on people who have suffered ischemic strokes, which are caused by blocked arteries. Almost 90 percent of the 700,000 strokes that occur yearly in the United States are ischemic, and they often cause long-term disability and death.
Animal tests have indicated Viagra (Sildenafil citrate), the sexual performance drug used by millions of men, can improve memory and movement by helping injured brains develop new cells and blood vessels, researchers said.
