An increasing number of patients are suffering from angina pectoris that is chronically refractory to standard anti-ischemic treatment such as pharmacological and surgical strategies. To improve the quality of life of these severely disabled patients, without adversely affecting their prognosis, a number of adjunct therapies are available. One of the most promising appears to be spinal cord stimulation. We will review the literature and discuss the efficacy, safety and mechanisms of neuromodulation as an adjuvant therapy for chronic refractory angina pectoris.
越来越多的患者患有心绞痛,这种心绞痛对标准抗缺血治疗(如药物和手术策略)长期难治。为了改善这些严重残疾患者的生活质量,同时又不对其预后产生不利影响,有多种辅助治疗方法可供选择。其中最有前景的一种似乎是脊髓刺激。我们将回顾文献并讨论神经调节作为慢性难治性心绞痛辅助治疗的疗效、安全性和机制。
