Does mechanical stimulation of the right vagus nerve alter ventricular rhythm in human hearts with auricular fibrillation?
Mechanical right vagus nerve stimulation in atrial fibrillation slows ventricular rate by blocking stimuli from the auricles, without altering the atrial fibrillation itself.
ROBINSON et al. (1911) studied this question.
