Supports targeting local sympathetic activity to prevent ischemia-induced VF; leaves open whether this approach benefits patients with acute coronary occlusion.
Does regional myocardial chemical sympathectomy prevent ventricular fibrillation and extrasystoles in dogs during acute coronary artery occlusion?
Regional myocardial chemical sympathectomy prevents ischemia-induced ventricular fibrillation in a canine model, highlighting the critical role of local noradrenaline release in early arrhythmias.
