Arrhythmias induced by local cardiac nerve stimulation

Abstract

Arrythmias induced by local cardiac nerve stimulation.

Augmentation of Left Ventricular Contractility by Cardiac Sympathetic Neural Stimulation

“…This is in line with results during epicardial stimulation of the ventrolateral nerve in dogs. 22 The septum also contributes to right ventricular function, and right ventricular pressure did not change during SNS; these findings may be taken as evidence for a different sympathetic neural input to the right ventricle and septum. In accordance with this, other authors have demonstrated that the right ventricular lateral wall is innervated mainly by sympathetic fibers crossing the right atrioventricular groove laterally, whereas the septum receives inputs from nerve fibers that cross the lateral right atrioventricular groove and from fibers coursing alongside the left anterior descending coronary artery.…”

Systematic and comparative morphologies of the extrinsic cardiac nervous system in lemurs (Primates: Strepsirrhini: Infraorder Lemuriformes, Gray, 1821) with evolutionary morphological implications

“…Experimental and developmental studies of the autonomic cardiac nervous system have also been conducted in animals such as the mouse, rat, rabbit, chick, and dog (Armour et al, 1972;Benítez et al, 1959;Brack et al, 2011;Gomez, 1958;Haws and Burgess, 1978;Hildreth et al, 2008Hildreth et al, , 2009Kirby et al, 1980;Kuratani et al, 1991;Kuratani and Tanaka, 1990;Levy et al, 1966;Mabe and Hoover, 2011;Meyer et al, 2010;Mizeres, 1955Mizeres, , 1957Mizeres, , 1958Mizuno et al, 2010;Oliveira et al, 2010;Roberts, 1991;Schwartz, 2010;Scherlag et al, 2011;Shaner, 1930;Shoba and Tay, 2000;Uchida et al, 2010;Verberne et al, 1998). However, huge differences in the cardiac nervous system between humans and the experimental animals have been recognized (Batulevicius et al, 2003;Brugnaro et al, 2003;Kawashima, 2011;McKibben and Getty, 1968;Rysevaite et al, 2011;Pauza et al, 2002a,b).…”

The Autonomic Nervous System and Atrial Fibrillation: The Roles of Pulmonary Vein Isolation and Ganglionated Plexi Ablation

“…Early basic studies showed the relationship between the ICANS and cardiac arrhythmias. 39,40 Anatomy of ICANS Armour et al 41 provided a comprehensive anatomic study of the ICANS in the human heart by delineating the locations of the major ganglionated plexi and their axonal fields and peripheral ganglia. This study demonstrated that the ICANS is "distributed more extensively than previously considered."…”
