Key result
Cardiac denervation following transplantation does not protect against arrhythmias, with atrial arrhythmias occurring in 72% and ventricular premature beats in 57% of patients.

Do cardiac arrhythmias occur in the denervated transplanted human heart?
Denervation following cardiac transplantation does not protect the heart from the initiation of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias.
Berke et al. (1973) conducted an observational in Cardiac transplantation (n=45). Cardiac transplantation (denervation) was evaluated on Atrial arrhythmias. Cardiac denervation following transplantation does not protect against arrhythmias, with atrial arrhythmias occurring in 72% and ventricular premature beats in 57% of patients.
