NCT01777659 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 38

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators will test the hypothesis that transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) may attenuate peripheral vasoconstriction and to improve blood flow redistribution during handgrip exercise in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients after Coronary Arterial Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG).

Conditions

  • Acute Myocardial Infarction

Interventions

DEVICE

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation

Patients will be treated with conventional TENS (ENDOMED 684 Device, ENRAF-Nonius B.V., Rotterdam, Netherlands) for 5 days (4 times/day; 30 min/session) applied on cervical region (C7-T4). TENS intervention was applied as described elsewhere.
