This study evaluated the impact of chronic vagal nerve stimulation (cVNS) on cardiac and extracardiac neural structure/function after myocardial infarction (MI). The results showed that cVNS improved cardiac mechanical function and reduced the occurrence of ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation. Additionally, cVNS mitigated extracardiac neural remodeling, particularly glial activation.
This study sought to evaluate the impact of chronic vagal nerve stimulation (cVNS) on cardiac and extracardiac neural structure/function after myocardial infarction (MI). Groups were control, MI, and MI thorn cVNS; cVNS was started 2 days post-MI. Terminal experiments were performed 6 weeks post-MI. MI impaired left ventricular mechanical function, evoked anisotropic electrical conduction, increased susceptibility to ventricular tachy-cardia and fibrillation, and altered neuronal and glial phenotypes in the stellate and dorsal root ganglia, including glial activation. cVNS improved cardiac mechanical function and reduced ventricular tachycardia/ ventricular fibrillation post-MI, partly by stabilizing activation/repolarization in the border zone. MI-associated extracardiac neural remodeling, particularly glial activation, was mitigated with cVNS. (J Am Coll Cardiol Basic Trans Science 2023;8:1100-1118)(c) 2023 The Authors.
