TENS may reduce angina episodes in cardiac syndrome X; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation.
Does transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) improve angina pectoris and myocardial perfusion in patients with cardiac syndrome X?
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) may reduce angina episodes and improve myocardial perfusion in patients with refractory cardiac syndrome X.
