Key result
Vagal stimulation via the internal jugular vein effectively confirmed the elimination of cardioinhibition following parasympathetic denervation, while cardioinhibition persisted in controls.
Why the study?
Does vagal stimulation through the internal jugular vein effectively evaluate and confirm parasympathetic denervation during cardiac ablation in patients with symptomatic arrhythmias?
Cohort (n=64)
Does vagal stimulation through the internal jugular vein effectively evaluate and confirm parasympathetic denervation during cardiac ablation in patients with symptomatic arrhythmias?
Vagal stimulation through the internal jugular vein is a feasible, easy, and reliable method to confirm parasympathetic denervation during cardiac ablation procedures without residual autonomic effects.

Jugular vagal stimulation may confirm parasympathetic denervation during ablation; leaves open impact on arrhythmia outcomes.
M et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in Symptomatic arrhythmias (n=64). Vagal stimulation via internal jugular vein vs. Ablation without parasympathetic denervation (control group) was evaluated on Cardioinhibition (pause in seconds) post-ablation. Vagal stimulation via the internal jugular vein effectively confirmed the elimination of cardioinhibition following parasympathetic denervation, while cardioinhibition persisted in controls.
