Low-Level Vagus Nerve Stimulation Reverses Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Related Atrial Fibrillation by Ameliorating Sympathetic Hyperactivity and Atrial Myocyte Injury
Abstract
Background : Previous studies have proved that low-level vagus nerve stimulation (LLVS) could suppress acute obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which is associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). Objective : This study investigates the underlying electrophysiological, neural, and cardiomyocyte injury mechanisms on acute OSA-induced AF, examining whether LLVS can attenuate or reverse this remodeling. Methods and Results : Eighteen mongrel dogs...
