Does not support autonomic modulation to alter ADFT; leaves open confirmation in larger randomized studies.
Does increased parasympathetic or sympathetic tone alter the atrial defibrillation threshold in patients with induced atrial fibrillation?
Increased parasympathetic and sympathetic tone does not affect internal atrial defibrillation thresholds in humans, despite altering other atrial electrophysiological properties.
Barold et al. (1999) studied this question.
