Why the study?
Does bilateral upper dorsal sympathectomy affect cardiac function and electrophysiology in young healthy patients?
Does bilateral upper dorsal sympathectomy affect cardiac function and electrophysiology in young healthy patients?
Bilateral upper dorsal sympathectomy exerts a safe, persistent beta-blocker-like effect on the heart without arrhythmogenic consequences or impairment of left ventricular function.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports beta-blocker-like cardiac effects of bilateral UDS without harm in healthy subjects; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice pending RCTs.
Papa et al. (1986) studied this question.
