Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effects of high-frequency electric stimulation (HFES) on cardiac neurons to control ventricular rate during atrial fibrillation in dogs, showing a reduction in intrinsic ventricular rate over several months when HFES was paused.
- - Results indicated that chronic HFES led to increased neuronal cell size and elevated levels of growth factors such as β-nerve growth factor (NGF) and neurotrophin (NT)-3, while also improving neuronal function through the upregulation of acetylcholine.
- - These findings suggest that HFES enhances parasympathetic function in the heart, potentially paving the way for improved techniques to manage cardiac conditions.
