Effects of sugammadex on heart rate variability in anesthetized male rats [PDF]
The administration of sugammadex has been associated with bradycardia and rarely asystole; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We examined heart rate variability (HRV) as an index of autonomic nervous system activity and investigated the ...

Pulmonary veins isolation in a patient with atrial fibrillation and pronounced vagal response: Is it enough? [PDF]
Introduction. Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) by antral circumferential ablation is the standard procedure for patients with symptomatic and drug-refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). In some patients addition of ganglionated plexi (GP)

GLP-1 Increases Circulating Leptin Levels in Truncal Vagotomized Rats
GLP-1 is a gastro-intestinal hormone acting within the gut/brain axis for energy balance regulation. We aimed to evaluate the role of the vagus nerve in whole-body energy homeostasis and in mediating GLP-1 effects.
