Key result
Vagus nerve stimulation reduces atrial fibrillation relapse and lowers the risk of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardias in experimental and clinical studies.
Why the study?
Does vagus nerve stimulation improve outcomes in patients with rhythm disorders, heart failure, and myocardial infarction?

May support adjunctive use in arrhythmias; leaves open confirmation in large randomized trials.
Syrovnev et al. (2017) conducted a review in Supraventricular and ventricular rhythm disorders, chronic cardiac failure, and myocardial infarction. Vagus nerve stimulation was evaluated. Vagus nerve stimulation reduces atrial fibrillation relapse and lowers the risk of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardias in experimental and clinical studies.
