Effects of Low-Level Autonomic Stimulation on Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation Induced by Acute Electrical Remodeling
BACKGROUND Rapid atrial pacing (RAP) can induce electrical and autonomic remodeling and facilitate atrial fibrillation (AF). Recent reports showed that low-level vagosympathetic nerve stimulation (LLVNS) can suppress AF, as an antiarrhythmic effect. We hypothesized that LLVNS can reverse substrate heterogeneity induced by RAP. METHODS AND RESULTS Mongrel dogs were divided into (LLVNS+RAP) and...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation produced by atrial stimulation.
OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, a number of clinical studies have been reported in which atrial pacing techniques were used.1Although episodes of atrial fibrillation have previously been noted during atrial pacing studies in man,2 no demonstration of the mode of onset of these arrhythmias has been published. It is the purpose of this communicationi to report the results of a retrospective analysis of ...
متن کاملLow-level vagosympathetic stimulation: a paradox and potential new modality for the treatment of focal atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND We used high-frequency stimulation delivered during the refractory period of the atrium and pulmonary veins (PVs) to induce focal firing and atrial fibrillation (AF). This study was designed to demonstrate that bilateral low-level vagosympathetic nerve stimulation (LL-VNS) could suppress high-frequency stimulation-induced focal AF at atrial and PV sites. METHODS AND RESULTS In 23 d...
متن کاملLow-Level Electrical Stimulation of Aortic€Root Ventricular Ganglionated Plexi€Attenuates Autonomic Nervous System–Mediated Atrial Fibrillation
METHODS Effective refractory periods (ERPs) of test pulmonary veins (PVs) were measured at baseline and during highlevel (HL-ES) and low-level (LL-ES) electrical stimulation of the aortic root GP. The arrhythmogenic threshold of acetylcholine and isoproterenol was determined at baseline and during HL-ES and LL-ES. Moreover, AF was induced at PVs by programmed electrical stimulation after HL-ES ...
متن کاملSelective vagal stimulation for rate control in atrial fibrillation.
Several recent randomized clinical trials comparing strategies based on control of ventricular rate versus those based on maintenance of sinus rhythm in elderly or high risk patients with atrial fibrillation have recently been reported.1,2 Preliminary data from these trials suggest that the 2 strategies can produce roughly equivalent clinical outcomes. For individual patients, either approach m...
