Does symptomatic relief precede improvement of myocardial blood flow in patients under spinal cord stimulation?
Thus, spinal cord stimulation not only relieves symptoms, but reduces myocardial ischemia as well. However, since improvement in symptoms and exercise capacity starts much earlier, decreased myocardial ischemia might not be a direct effect of neurostimulation but rather be due to a better coronary collateralisation because of an enhanced physical activity of the patients.
The swimming training program attenuated the contractile dysfunction of the LV myocytes of rats with experimental diabetes.
