СТИМУЛЯЦИЯ БЛУЖДАЮЩЕГО НЕРВА В КАРДИОЛОГИИ

This article reviews key experimental and clinical studies that have taken place in the field of cardiology. Vagus nerve stimulation affects neuronal chains of extrinsic and intrinsic cardiac plexuses that enhance the parasimpatic influence. The positive therapeutic effect in the treatment of supraventricular and ventricular rhythm disorders, chronic cardiac failure and myocardial infarction has been achieved in different experimental and clinical trials. It has been shown that vagus nerve stimulation reduces atrial fibrillation relapse, lowers the risk of ventricular fibrillation and reduces the risk of ventricular tachycardias. After successful pre-clinical studies in congestive heart failure treatment with vagus nerve stimulation, this method started to be investigated in multicenter trials. Their early results are given in the article.
