Background Spinal cord stimulation is known to be a successful treatment for chronic
intractable angina pectoris. Its effect may be anti-ischemic. It is uncertain if the clinical effect is …

Spinal cord stimulation in angina pectoris increases exercise capacity and reduces both
anginal attacks and ischemic electrocardiographic signs. This suggests an anti-ischemic action, …
