Vagus nerve stimulation attenuates septic shock-induced cardiac injury in rats

This study suggests that VNS contributes to the reduction of myocardial apoptosis and improvement of left ventricular function to attenuate septic shock-induced cardiac injury in rats. The performance of VNS inhibits the inflammatory responses in heart tissues via the regulation of NF-kappa-B signal.PMID:38215060 | PMC:PMC10805250 | DOI:10.33549/physiolres.935136
