Research into cardiac autonomic control has received great interest in the past 20 years,
and we are now at a critical juncture with regard to the clinical translation of the experimental …

Autonomic nerves are attractive targets for medical therapies using electroceutical devices
because of the potential for selective control and few side effects. These devices use novel …

ABSTRACT The Brain-Heart interaction is becoming increasingly important as the
underlying pathophysiological mechanisms become better understood.“Neurocardiology” is …

Autonomic dysregulation in cardiovascular disease plays a major role in the pathogenesis of
arrhythmias. Cardiac neural control relies on complex feedback loops consisting of efferent …

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have a greater risk of developing life-
threatening cardiac arrhythmias. Because the underlying mechanisms and potential …

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have been considered the most predominant cause of
death and one of the most critical public health issues worldwide. In the past two decades …

The purpose of this study was to define the mechanism by which cardiac neuraxial
decentralization or spinal cord stimulation (SCS) reduces ischemia-induced ventricular …

Background: Following myocardial infarction (MI), the myocardium is prone to calcium-
driven alternans, which typically precedes ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation. MI is also …

Aberrant afferent signaling drives adverse remodeling of the cardiac nervous system in
ischemic heart disease. The study objective was to determine whether thoracic spinal dorsal …

Background Left-stellate ganglion stimulation (LSGS) can modify regional dispersion of
ventricular refractoriness, promote triggered activity, and reduce the threshold for ventricular …
