Protection against ventricular fibrillation via cholinergic receptor stimulation and the generation of nitric oxide

KEY POINTS: Animal studies suggest an anti‐fibrillatory action of the vagus nerve on the ventricle, although the exact mechanism is controversial. Using a Langendorff perfused rat heart, we show that the acetylcholine analogue carbamylcholine raises ventricular fibrillation threshold (VFT) and flatt...
