Short-term effects of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation on T-wave alternans in people with focal epilepsy – An exploratory pilot study

High levels of T-wave alternans (TWA) are linked to an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. People with epilepsy display elevated TWA levels that are decreased by chronic vagus nerve stimulation via implanted devices after 2–4 weeks or later. Our objective was to explore short-term effects of tra...
