High-frequency VNS was associated with enhanced cardiac vagal tone; leaves open clinical benefit in seizure patients.
Does high-frequency vagal electrostimulation enhance cardiac vagal tone in patients with complex partial seizures?
High-frequency vagal nerve stimulation is associated with sustained augmentation of cardiac vagal tone in humans.
KAMATH et al. (1992) studied this question.
