Microvolt T-Wave Alternans Is Modulated by Acute Low-Level Tragus Stimulation in Patients With Ischemic Cardiomyopathy and Heart Failure

Aims: Microvolt T-wave alternans (TWA), an oscillation in T-wave morphology of the electrocardiogram (ECG), has been associated with increased susceptibility to ventricular tachy-arrhythmias, while vagus nerve stimulation has shown promising anti-arrhythmic effects in in vivo and ex vivo animal stud...
