Why the study?
Does chronic intermittent low-level transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the auricular branch of the vagus nerve improve left ventricular remodeling in conscious dogs with healed myocardial infarction?
Does chronic intermittent low-level transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the auricular branch of the vagus nerve improve left ventricular remodeling in conscious dogs with healed myocardial infarction?
Non-invasive transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation attenuates adverse left ventricular remodeling in a canine model of healed myocardial infarction.
Hypothesis-generating for noninvasive auricular vagus stimulation in post-MI remodeling; human trials needed before any clinical consideration.
Chronic intermittent low-level transcutaneous electric stimulation of auricular branch of vagus nerve can attenuate LV remodeling in conscious dogs with healed MI.
