Persistent uncertainty on cardiac denervation for angina warrants surgical caution; leaves open modern pathway mapping in research.
James C. White (1929) conducted a review in Angina Pectoris. Surgical interruption of cardiac nerves was evaluated. Surgical interruption of cardiac nerves for angina pectoris lacks consensus regarding the optimal anatomical approach due to differing opinions on the pathways of cardiac motor and sensory fibers.
