متن کاملOn 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 کاملLate-onset jaw and teeth pain mimicking trigeminal neuralgia associated with chronic vagal nerve stimulation: case series and review of the literature
BACKGROUND Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) for refractory epilepsy is well established. Trigeminal neuralgia itself is a common disease in adults, and thus, late-onset pain in the trigeminal region under VNS, which is extremely rare, may not be recognized as caused by VNS. CASE PRESENTATION Two patients with drug-resistant symptomatic epilepsy treated with chronic VNS experienced stimulation-re...
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. ...
