TEA-associated LV improvements during ischemia merit prospective trials; does not yet support clinical adoption in stable CAD.
Does high thoracic epidural anesthesia improve global and regional left ventricular function during stress-induced myocardial ischemia in patients with coronary artery disease?
High thoracic epidural anesthesia improves global and regional left ventricular function and reduces ischemic ST-segment depression during stress-induced myocardial ischemia in patients with severe stable angina.
Redfors et al. (1990) studied this question.
