Innovations in Autonomic Therapies for Atrial Fibrillation
Innovations in Autonomic Therapies for Atrial Fibrillation
Jonathan Piccini | Shih-Ann Chen | Marat Fudim | Stavros Stavrakis | Kalyanam Shivkumar
The autonomic nervous system is known to play a critical role in the initiation and/or triggering of many arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation. Autonomic therapies have moved well-beyond isolated ablation of cardiac ganglionated plexi. This session will review the innovations that have expanded autonomic therapies, including tragus stimulation, renal sympathetic denervation, and future innovations for additional interventions.
