On the cause of ventricular asystole during vagal stimulation.
In anesthetized dogs the vagus nerve was stimulated for 2 min; during the first minute the ventricles were driven at a rate higher than the control sinus rate; after discontinuation of the drive, the duration of asystole was prolonged. When the ventricles were driven at a rate lower than the sinus rate during vagal stimulation the subsequent asystole was shortened. Slowing sinus activity by gra...

متن کاملHeart period variability during vagal nerve stimulation
Vagal nerve stimulation is an emerging therapy for epilepsy, yet little is known regarding the effects of this stimulation on heart period variability. We selected 10 patients (two female, eight male) who were receiving high-frequency, high-intensity left vagal nerve stimulation for intractable epilepsy. Electrocardiogram data were recorded for a 7 min baseline, 2.5 min of stimulation and a 7 m...
متن کامل‘Runaway’ vagal nerve stimulator: a case of cyclic asystole
A vagal nerve stimulator (VNS) is a device designed to prevent seizures in patients with drug-refractory epilepsy by providing high-frequency (20–30 Hz) electrical stimulation of the left vagus nerve, activating vagal nerve afferent fibers that carry signals to the brain and reduce seizure activity. Similar to a cardiac pacemaker, the device generator is implanted in the left subpectoral area. ...
متن کاملVentricular asystole during pulmonary artery catheter insertion.
669 September 2015 A the overall pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) use has decreased, it remains a valuable tool in select patients. PAC insertion may result in ventricular or supraventricular dysrhythmias due to contact of the catheter with the cardiac chamber walls. The use of balloon-tipped catheters during insertion serves to increase the catheter tip surface area, thereby mitigating applied ...
