Spinal nociceptive denervation impedes subsequent chronic autonomic remodeling after myocardial infarction in male swine

Valerie Y. H. van Weperen, Jonathan D. Hoang, Neil R. Jani, Shail Avasthi, Christopher A. Chan, Kuan Cao, Zulfiqar Ali Lokhandwala, Maryam Emamimeybodi, Karim Atmani, Marmar Vaseghi

This study shows that spinal nociceptive denervation reduces autonomic remodeling and ventricular arrhythmias after myocardial infarction in male swine.

Thoracic epidural blockade after myocardial infarction benefits from anti-arrhythmic pathways mediated in part by parasympathetic modulation

Jonathan D Hoang, Valerie YH van Weperen, Ki-Woon Kang, Neil R Jani, Mohammed A Swid, Christopher A Chan, Zulfiqar Ali Lokhandwala, Robert L Lux, Marmar Vaseghi

This study investigates the anti-arrhythmic effects of thoracic epidural blockade after myocardial infarction, finding it reduces ventricular tachyarrhythmia inducibility and improves parasympathetic function.
