Hyperventilation and Ischaemic Heart Disease

  • Chapter
Cardiorespiratory and Cardiosomatic Psychophysiology

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 114))

Abstract

It is increasingly obvious that the paradigms that hold sway over cardiology at present are not providing adequate solutions. Risk factor management has been disappointing [1] and coronary artery bypass grafting is not the simple answer to angina pectoris, usually considered to be due solely to the rigid coronary atheromatous narrowings demonstrated at angiography [2].
