La enfermedad cerebrovascular representa la tercera causa de muerte en los países desarrollados y en vías de desarrollo y sus secuelas se comportan como la primera causa de invalidez en los adultos. Las orientaciones terapéuticas más importantes en estos pacientes consisten en mejorar el flujo sanguíneo cerebral y reducir o bloquear las consecuencias metabólicas a nivel subcelular y celular. Los importantes avances producidos en los últimos años en el conocimiento de los mecanismos fisiopatológicos de la isquemia cerebral y en el desarrollo de nuevos fármacos han planteado las expectativas reales de tratamiento y el rechazo de actitudes nihilistas. Se hizo una breve revisión del concepto de plasticidad neuronal y neuromodulación farmacológica. Se expuso un grupo de fármacos neuroprotectores y neurotróficos, algunos de forma experimental, usados en la enfermedad cerebrovascular aguda y crónica.Cardiovascular disease represents the third cause of death in developed and developing countries and its sequelae are the first cause of disability in adults. The most important therapeutic procedures for these patients include the improvement of brain blood flow and reduction or blocking of the metabolic consequences at sub-cellular and cellular levels. The fundamental advances in the knowledge of the physiopathological mechanisms of the brain ischemia in the last few years and the development of new drugs have disclosed the real expectations of the treatment and the rejection of nihilistic attitudes. A brief review of the concept of neuronal plasticity and pharmacological neuromodulation was made. A group of neuroprotective and neurotrophic drugs used in acute and chronic cerebrovascular disease, some of them under experimental stage, was presented.
