Does low-level transcutaneous electrical vagus nerve stimulation suppress atrial fibrillation?
LLTS suppresses AF and decreases inflammatory cytokines in patients with paroxysmal AF. Our results support the emerging paradigm of neuromodulation to treat AF.
We successfully demonstrated that direct retrograde hypothermic perfusion via the jugular vein without cardiopulmonary bypass protected the brain after heat stroke. This technique cooled the brain but did not significantly interfere with body temperature.
