Effects of vagal electrical stimulation on the heart rate power spectra in humans
Abstract
Electrical stimulation of the left vagus nerve through an implanted pacemaker for treating patients with intractable epileptic seizures offers a unique opportunity to examine the effects of vagal electrical stimulation on the heart rate power spectra. The authors studied eight patients before surgical implantation and at 2 weeks and 1 year after the stimulator was turned on. In four patients the stimulator was set to 2 Hz, 0.1 mA. For others …
