Low‐Level Tragus Stimulation Modulates Atrial Alternans and Fibrillation Burden in Patients With Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

Low‐Level Tragus Stimulation Modulates Atrial Alternans and Fibrillation Burden in Patients With Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

Background Low‐level tragus stimulation (LLTS) has been shown to significantly reduce atrial fibrillation (AF) burden in patients with paroxysmal AF. P‐wave alternans (PWA) is believed to be generated by the same substrate responsible for AF. Hence, PWA may serve as a marker in guiding LLTS therapy....
