Role of 20-HETE on Vasospasm-Induced Ischemia after SAH

Funding Agency:

National Institute of Health

Total Project Period:

05/01/04 - 03/31/09

Total Project Award:

$36,738

Principal Investigator:

Leslie Hoffman, PhD
(Nurs-Acute/Tertiary Care)

Co-Investigator:

Michael Horowitz, MD; Arlan Mintz, MD

Project Summary:

The goal of this project is to...

  1. establish whether stimulation of the catecholamine pathway plays in the development of cerebral vasospasm within the first 14 days following SAH, and
  2. determine whether the magniture of the stimulus of this pathway is a predictor of outcomes.
