Why the study?
Does esophageal electric stimulation modulate cardioautonomic responses through respiratory frequency or a direct vagal effect in healthy males?
Population

Esophageal stimulation may directly enhance cardiac vagal tone independent of respiration; leaves open clinical translation and requires prospective validation.
Does esophageal electric stimulation modulate cardioautonomic responses through respiratory frequency or a direct vagal effect in healthy males?
Esophageal electric stimulation enhances cardiac vagal modulation directly via vagal afferents rather than secondary to respiratory changes.
Bajwa et al. (1997) studied this question.
