2015年12月15日 · Vagal atrial fibrillation (AF) remains an under-recognised entity, affecting younger patients often with structurally normal hearts. Although there remains no universal definition or diagnostic criteria, in this review we describe recognised triggers and associated features, including a well-established association with athletic training.

2018年6月18日 · “What is the difference between “Adrenergic” and “Vagal” Atrial Fibrillation? How can I tell if I have one or the other? Does it really matter? Does Pulmonary Vein Ablation (Isolation) work for Adrenergic and/or Vagal A-Fib?”

AF predominantly precipitated by parasympathetic stimulation is known as vagally-mediated AF (VM-AF). The role of novel drugs and molecular targeted gene therapy that modulate the autonomic nervous system are therapeutic options in this unique population with VM-AF.

2022年8月18日 · The presence of both sympathetic activation-mediated triggers and parasympathetic activation-mediated substrates are required to initiate and maintain some forms of atrial fibrillation (AF). AF predominantly precipitated by parasympathetic stimulation is known as vagally-mediated AF (VM-AF)."

2024年1月19日 · This comprehensive analysis explores the connection between the vagus nerve and AF, delving into the basics of AF, understanding the vagus nerve, the relationship between the two, and the potential for vagus nerve-based treatments.

2023年4月26日 · Vagal AF, most frequently, affects male and young (age 30–50 years) patients without structural heart disease. It occurs more in bradycardic patients with onset during nocturnal or post-prandial rest, and, finally, large meals, especially in the evening, and alcohol abuse are considered triggering events.

2014年4月25日 · In this review, we focus on the relationship between the autonomic nervous system and the pathophysiology of AF and the potential benefit and limitations of neuromodulation in the management of this arrhythmia.

2021年12月22日 · Vagal maneuvers are a first-line (first choice) treatment for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) (fast heart rate) because they’re a low-risk, low-cost way to slow down a heart rate that’s too fast.

2022年5月26日 · A spike in the vagus nerve from eating a large meal can spark an Afib event. Research shows that when gastrointestinal issues resolve, Afib episodes typically subside. While less common, cold food and drinks can also lead to an event.

Based on the seminal work of Coumel, the autonomic nervous system is considered to play a pathophysiological role in a subset of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). 1 In particular, Coumel put forward the concept of so-called vagal AF. Yet, the precise role of the autonomic nervous system in vagal AF is unclear.
