Pulsed Ultrahigh Frequency Spinal Cord Stimulation for Arrhythmia After Myocardial Infarction [PDF]
Background Acute myocardial infarction (MI) increases sympathetic tone and increases the risk of life‐threatening ventricular arrhythmias. We tested the hypothesis that spinal cord stimulation (SCS) using pulsed ultrahigh frequency (PUF) from T1 to T3 ...

Decreased Myocardial 123I‐MIBG Uptake Without Sympathetic Denervation: An Autopsy Report of Autoimmune Autonomic Ganglionopathy [PDF]
Introduction Autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy (AAG) is a rare disorder characterized by widespread autonomic failure due to antibodies targeting the ganglionic nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (gAChR).

Protocol of the RADIO-STAR trial: a phase 1 safety and dose finding study of hypofractionated radiotherapy to the stellate ganglia for the treatment of ventricular arrhythmia [PDF]
Introduction Sympathetic activation is the hallmark of cardiac disease, driving disease progression and triggering ventricular arrhythmia (VA). Despite optimal medical therapy, many patients experience recurrent VAs refractory to medical therapy, leading

Tyrosine Hydroxylase-Expressing Neurons in the Vagal Ganglia: Characterization and Implications [PDF]
Background/Objectives: A combination of sympathoexcitation and parasympathetic withdrawal contributes to the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death, and progression of heart failure after myocardial injury.

Post-Ganglionic Sympathetic Neurons can Directly Sense Raised Extracellular Na+ via SCN7a/Nax
The relationship between dietary NaCl intake and high blood pressure is well-established, and occurs primarily through activation of the sympathetic nervous system.

Untangling Peripheral Sympathetic Neurocircuits
The sympathetic nervous system plays a critical role in regulating many autonomic functions, including cardiac rhythm. The postganglionic neurons in the sympathetic chain ganglia are essential components that relay sympathetic signals to target tissues ...

Sympathetic neurons and endocrine chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla are catecholaminergic cells that derive from the neural crest. According to the classic model, they develop from a common sympathoadrenal (SA) progenitor that has the ability to ...

Satellite glial cells modulate cholinergic transmission between sympathetic neurons.
Postganglionic sympathetic neurons and satellite glial cells are the two major cell types of the peripheral sympathetic ganglia. Sympathetic neurons project to and provide neural control of peripheral organs and have been implicated in human disorders ...
