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.

Catheter ablation has become the dominant form of therapeutic intervention for cardiac arrhythmias. However, preclinical development of new antiarrhythmic drugs is very robust. These new molecular entities are not limited to antagonism of membrane active ion channels, but target additional mechanisms of arrhythmogenesis. These drugs, their targets, and their potential ability to improve and disrupt current care paradigms will be reviewed in this session.
