Does continuous left-sided low-level vagus nerve stimulation reduce stellate ganglion nerve activity and paroxysmal atrial tachyarrhythmias in ambulatory canines?
Continuous low-level vagus nerve stimulation reduces atrial tachyarrhythmias and sympathetic nerve activity in a canine model, suggesting a potential neuromodulatory approach for arrhythmia management.
Left-sided low-level vagus nerve stimulation suppresses stellate ganglion nerve activities and reduces the incidences of paroxysmal atrial tachyarrhythmias in ambulatory dogs. Significant neural remodeling of the left stellate ganglion is evident 1 week after cessation of continuous LL-VNS.
