Does continuous low-level vagus nerve stimulation reduce stellate ganglion nerve activity and paroxysmal atrial tachyarrhythmias in ambulatory canines?
Left-sided low-level vagus nerve stimulation suppresses stellate ganglion nerve activities and reduces the incidences of paroxysmal atrial tachyarrhythmias in ambulatory dogs. Significant neural remodeling of the left stellate ganglion is evident 1 week after cessation of continuous LL-VNS.
These results suggest that methadone clinic-based DAART has the potential to provide substantial clinical benefit for HIV-infected IDUs.
