Abstract:Percutaneous left stellate ganglion block (PLSGB) has been recently implemented for the acute treatment of refractory ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). The beneficial effect on supraventricular arrhythmias susceptibility and their ventricular response is well characterized in animal models, less so in humans. Available data suggest a significant prolongation of atrial refractory period, a reduction in inducibility and duration of atrial fibrillation and of all spontaneous intra– and postoperative atrial arrhythmi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
