Our results indicated that T2-3 sympathectomy suppressed baroreflex control of heart rate in both pressor and depressor tests
in the patients with palmar hyperhidrosis. We should note that baroreflex response for maintaining cardiovascular stability is suppressed in the patients who received the ETS.

Is this and admission that ETS causes reduced exercise tolerance?!
So far Dr. Reisfeld has performed approximately 35 clamp removal procedures. The results are not 100% but about 50% of those cases showed improvements in their clinical condition which translated into reduction of compensatory sweating, better exercise tolerance, re-appearance of sweat in the hands and upper body, etc. Obviously more time is needed to come to any definite conclusions and also we will need more cases so statistical analysis can be made.
