Thoracic dorsal root ganglion stimulation reduces acute myocardial ischemia induced ventricular arrhythmias
BACKGROUND: Dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRGS) may serve as a novel neuromodulation strategy to reduce cardiac sympathoexcitation and ventricular excitability. OBJECTIVE: In this pre-clinical study, we investigated the effectiveness of DRGS on reducing ventricular arrhythmias and modulating car...

description | BACKGROUND: Dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRGS) may serve as a novel neuromodulation strategy to reduce cardiac sympathoexcitation and ventricular excitability. OBJECTIVE: In this pre-clinical study, we investigated the effectiveness of DRGS on reducing ventricular arrhythmias and modulating cardiac sympathetic hyperactivity caused by myocardial ischemia. METHODS: Twenty-three Yorkshire pigs were randomized to two groups, which was control LAD ischemia-reperfusion (CONTROL) or LAD ischemia-reperfusion + DRGS (DRGS) group. In the DRGS group (n = 10), high-frequency stimulation (1 kHz) at the second thoracic level (T2) was initiated 30 min before ischemia and continued throughout 1 h of ischemia and 2 h of reperfusion. Cardiac electrophysiological mapping and Ventricular Arrhythmia Score (VAS) were assessed, along with evaluation of cFos expression and apoptosis in the T2 spinal cord and DRG. RESULTS: DRGS decreased the magnitude of activation recovery interval (ARI) shortening in the ischemic region (CONTROL: −201 ± 9.8 ms, DRGS: −170 ± 9.4 ms, p = 0.0373) and decreased global dispersion of repolarization (DOR) at 30 min of myocardial ischemia (CONTROL: 9546 ± 763 ms(2), DRGS: 6491 ± 636 ms(2), p = 0.0076). DRGS also decreased ventricular arrhythmias (VAS–CONTROL: 8.9 ± 1.1, DRGS: 6.3 ± 1.0, p = 0.038). Immunohistochemistry studies showed that DRGS decreased % cFos with NeuN expression in the T2 spinal cord (p = 0.048) and the number of apoptotic cells in the DRG (p = 0.0084). CONCLUSION: DRGS reduced the burden of myocardial ischemia-induced cardiac sympathoexcitation and has a potential to be a novel treatment option to reduce arrhythmogenesis. |
