Objectives: The study sought to characterize the efficacy of stellate ganglion block (SGB) as
a treatment for electrical storm (ES). Background: The efficacy of percutaneous SGB for …

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is complex and plays an important role in cardiac
arrhythmia pathogenesis. A deeper understanding of the anatomy and development of the …

Key points The evoked cardiac response to bipolar cervical vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)
reflects a dynamic interaction between afferent mediated decreases in central …

Background Novel therapies aimed at modulating the autonomic nervous system, including
thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEA), have been shown in small case series to be beneficial in …

METHODS. Stellate ganglia from patients with cardiomyopathy (CMY) and refractory
ventricular arrhythmias undergoing cardiac sympathetic denervation (n= 8), and from organ …

The autonomic nervous system controls every aspect of cardiac physiology. Autonomic
imbalances, whether from central nervous system disorders such as in epilepsy 1 or from …

The influence of cardiac sympathetic innervation on electrical activation in normal and
chronically infarcted ventricular myocardium is not understood. Yorkshire pigs with normal …

Background Neuromodulation of the paravertebral ganglia by using symmetric voltage
controlled kilohertz frequency alternating current (KHFAC) has the potential to be a …

There are complex and dynamic reflex control networks between the heart and the brain,
including cardiac and intrathoracic ganglia, spinal cord, brainstem, and central nucleus …

Background Autonomic dysfunction contributes to induction of ventricular tachyarrhythmia
(VT). Objective To determine the efficacy of charge-balanced direct current (CBDC), applied …
