Antiarrhythmic effects of stimulating the left dorsal branch of the thoracic nerve in a canine model of paroxysmal atrial tachyarrhythmias
Stellate ganglion nerve activity (SGNA) precedes paroxysmal atrial tachyarrhythmias (PAT) episodes in dogs with intermittent high rate left atrium (LA) pacing. The left dorsal branch of thoracic nerve (LDTN) contains sympathetic nerves originating from the stellate ganglia.
