Mechanisms underlying the autonomic modulation of ventricular fibrillation initiation—tentative prophylactic properties of vagus nerve stimulation on malignant arrhythmias in heart failure

Classical physiology teaches that vagal post-ganglionic nerves modulate the heart via acetylcholine acting at muscarinic receptors, whilst it is accepted that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) slows heart rate, atrioventricular conduction and decreases atrial contraction; there is continued controversy...
