Effects of Esophageal Stimulation in Healthy Subjects
Abstract
We studied the effects of esophageal electrical stimulation on heart rate variability power spectra (PS/HRV) and cortical evoked potentials (EPs) in healthy subjects. The intensity of stimulation was varied from 2.7 to 20 mA. We found that the amplitude of the cortical evoked potentials (amplitude of the N2/P2 peak) increased from 5.1 +/- 0.7 microV at 5 mA to 16.3 +/- 1.1 microV at 20 mA. The PS/HRV showed an increase in the vagal modulation …
