1. Refractory angina pectoris. Patient characteristics, safety and long-term effects of spinal cord stimulation
Abstract : Refractory angina pectoris has been defined as severe angina pectoris due to coronary artery disease which cannot be controlled by conventional pharmacological or surgical therapy. The epidemiology of this condition is virtually unknown. During the last decades, additional treatment options have been developed for this condition. READ MORE

2. Severe angina pectoris and spinal cord stimulation. Long-term effects and safety aspects
Abstract : Refractory angina pectoris has been defined as coronary artery disease and severe angina, where standard pharmacological and invasive treatment possibilities are exhausted. The epidemiology of this condition is virtually unknown.During the last few decades, additional treatment options have evolved for this condition. READ MORE

3. Myocardial gene therapy and gene expression in angina pectoris
Abstract : Background: Angiogenesis does not fully counteract myocardial ischemia in stable angina pectoris. Refractory angina pectoris, with remaining symptoms despite medication and no possibility for bypass surgery or angioplasty, is rather common. Angiogenic gene therapy is a novel treatment strategy for these patients. READ MORE

4. Initial and long-term effects of enhanced external counterpulsation in patients with refractory angina pectoris
Abstract : Symptom relief through spinal cord stimulation (SCS) based on the gate-control theory and enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) through improved coronary perfusion is two treatments in angina pectoris refractory to medication and surgery. The overall aim was to evaluate and compare the initial and longterm effects, utilization and cost of EECP compared to SCS. READ MORE

5. Enhanced external counterpulsation treatment in patients with refractory angina pectoris with emphasis on physical capacity, health-related quality of life and safety : An explorative and interventional study
Abstract : Background: Patients with refractory angina pectoris (RAP) suffer from debilitating symptoms with considerable limitation of functional capacity and impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL) despite optimised medical therapy. In addition, frequent angina symptoms are strongly associated with psychological distress. READ MORE
