The autonomic nervous system exerts a fine beat-to-beat regulation of cardiovascular
functions and is consequently involved in the onset and progression of many cardiovascular …

The parasympathetic nervous system via the vagus nerve exerts profound influence over the
heart. Together with the sympathetic nervous system, the parasympathetic nervous system is …

Altered autonomic balance is a hallmark of numerous cardiovascular diseases, including
myocardial infarction (MI). Although device-based vagal stimulation is cardioprotective …

The heart is electrically and mechanically controlled by the autonomic nervous system,
which consists of both the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. It has been …

Purpose Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is associated with inflammation,
oxidative stress, and excess sympathetic drive. It is unknown whether neuromodulation …

Chronically stressed patients often have low vagal tone and increased levels of
proinflammatory cytokines, which increase their risk for developing cardiac dysfunction …

Background Abnormal cardiac innervation plays an important role in arrhythmogenicity after
myocardial infarction (MI). Data regarding reperfusion models and innervation abnormalities …

Background Cardiac sympathetic hyperinnervation after myocardial infarction (MI) is
associated with arrhythmogenesis and sudden cardiac death. The characteristics of cardiac …

Background Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has shown therapeutic potential in a variety of
different diseases with many ongoing clinical trials. The role of VNS in reducing ischemic …

Myocardial infarction (MI) stands as the predominant cause of morbidity and mortality within
the spectrum of cardiovascular diseases, with an unfavorable long-term prognosis. Vagus …
