Heart rate variability after radiofrequency ablation of epicardial ganglionated plexuses on the ovine left atrium

Heart rate variability after radiofrequency ablation of epicardial ganglionated plexuses on the ovine left atrium

Abstract Background Ganglionated plexuses (GP) are terminal parts of cardiac autonomous nervous system (ANS). Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) possibly affects GP. Changes in heart rate variability (HRV) after RFA can reflect ANS modulation. Methods Epicardial RFA of GP on...
