Low Level Non-invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation: a novel feasible therapeutic approach for atrial fibrillation

The autonomic nervous system plays an important role in the modulation of cardiac arrhythmogenesis, and autonomic nerve activity can act as a direct trigger of arrhythmias. In atrial fibrillation, sympathetic left stellate ganglion (LSG) and atrial gonglionated plexus activations(GP) are the most common trigger [1].
