Mapping the Characteristics of Atrial Activation Patterns During Atrial Fibrillation
… for ablation. Moreover, mechanisms of AF in the vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) model and patients with spontaneous AF after open heart surgery (OHS) are still unclear.In the present studies, the driver region, which is either reentrant or focal, was further characterized by cycle length variation …

Identifying novel therapeutic targets for seizures and brain cancers
… surgical therapy. A less invasive approach is vagal nerve stimulation, which I demonstrated is safe and effective in 100 patients, in the first UK based large case series. Another group of patients that suffer from intractable epilepsy are those with tumour associated seizures (TAS). In …

Vagus Nerve Stimulation In Hypertensive Rats: Assessing Pathophysiology Using ECG And Pressure Data
… patients respond to current medications. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), which aims to restore autonomic balance, has emerged as a promising new treatment for this disease. In our lab, we conducted an experimental study aimed at assessing the safety and efficacy of chronic, continuously cyclic …
