Chronic vagus nerve stimulation improves left ventricular function in a canine model of chronic mitral regurgitation

BACKGROUND: Autonomic dysfunction, characterized by sympathetic activation and vagal withdrawal, contributes to the progression of heart failure (HF). We hypothesized that chronic vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) could prevent left ventricular (LV) remodeling and dysfunction in a canine HF model induce...
