Delayed afterdepolarizations elicited in vivo by left stellate ganglion stimulation.

Delayed afterdepolarizations elicited in vivo by left stellate ganglion stimulation.

Activation of cardiac sympathetic nerves is recognized as a triggering factor for cardiac arrhythmias. However, the mechanisms involved have only been speculated. Because evidence from studies in vitro has established a relation between catecholamines, delayed afterdepolarizations (DAD), and triggered rhythms, it seemed possible that in vivo adrenergic activation also might lead to the developm...

Stimulation of left stellate ganglion prolongs Q-T interval in patients with palmar hyperhidrosis.

With the advent of transthoracic video-assisted endoscopic electrocautery of the second and the third sympathetic ganglia for the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis, it is possible to approach the stellate ganglia with ease. To see whether stimulation of stellate ganglia in humans is similar to the case in dogs, we stimulated the sympathetic ganglia in 18 palmar hyperhidrosis patients with a coa...
