Vagus nerve stimulation reduces ventricular arrhythmias and increases ventricular electrical stability
Abstract
Transcutaneous stimulation of the auricular branch of the vagus nerve (AB‐VNS) is a potentially noninvasive, inexpensive, and safe approach for vagus nerve stimulation that suppresses the induction and duration of atrial fibrillation and reduces sympathetic nerve outflow in healthy humans. Researchers have not determined whether AB‐VNS affects ventricular arrhythmias.
