Abstract

We report a case of spinal cord stimulation (neurostimulation) as treatment of angina pectoris pain in a patient with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. The precautions taken to avoid inhibition of the demand pace function and avoid activation of the shock function by the neurostimulation are discussed.
