The cardiac autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays an integral role in normal cardiac
physiology as well as in disease states that cause cardiac arrhythmias. The cardiac ANS …

It is increasingly recognized that the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a major contributor
in many cardiac arrhythmias. Cardiac ANS can be divided into extrinsic and intrinsic parts …

Background The ganglionated plexuses (GPs) of the intrinsic cardiac autonomic system may
play a role in atrial fibrillation (AF). Objective We hypothesized that ablating the ectopy …

Background Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) by radiofrequency (RF) energy is associated
with a collateral ganglionated plexi ablation. Pulsed electric field (PEF) is a nonthermal …

Models of electrical activation and recovery in cardiac cells and tissue have become
valuable research tools, and are beginning to be used in safety-critical applications …

Background Adjunctive ganglionic plexus (GP) ablation may increase the efficacy of
pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). Prior meta-analyses …

The autonomic nervous system promotes initiation and maintenance of atrial fibrillation (AF).
Cardiac ganglionated plexus(GP), containing parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves, are …

As the most common sustained arrhythmia, AF is a complex clinical entity which remains a
difficult condition to durably treat in the majority of patients. Over the past few decades, the …

AF is a progressive disease of the atria, involving complex mechanisms related to its
initiation, maintenance and progression. Computational modelling provides a framework for …

Ablation of ganglionated plexuses (GPs) is a relatively new technique in patients with
vasovagal syncope. Due to individual variation of GP settlement, reproducible GP detection …
