Key Points

  • The aim is to assess the effects of pulsed ultrahigh frequency spinal cord stimulation on arrhythmia following myocardial infarction.
  • Utilized a myocardial infarction model for evaluation.
  • Applied pulsed ultrahigh frequency spinal cord stimulation.
  • Monitored changes in sympathetic tone and heart function.
  • PUF-SCS significantly suppressed sympathetic tone.
  • Reduced the burden of ventricular arrhythmias was observed.
  • Heart function and ventricular fibrillation vulnerability improved one month post-stimulation.

Abstract

PUF-SCS effectively suppressed sympathetic tone and reduced ventricular arrhythmia burden without causing permanent damage to the sympathetic ganglia. In the MI model, heart function and ventricular fibrillation vulnerability were reversed 1 month after PUF-SCS.
