Atrial fibrillation has a multifactorial pathophysiology influenced by cardiac autonomic innervation. Both sympathetic and parasympathetic influences are profibrillatory. Innovative therapies targeting the neurocardiac axis include catheter ablation or pharmacologic suppression of ganglionated plexi, renal sympathetic denervation, low-level vagal stimulation, and stellate ganglion blockade. To date, these therapies have variable efficacy. As our understanding of atrial fibrillation and the cardiac nervous system expands, our approach to therapeutic neuromodulation will continue evolving for the benefit of those with AF.
心房颤动的病理生理学具有多因素特性,受心脏自主神经支配的影响。交感神经和副交感神经的影响都是致心律失常的。针对心神经轴的创新治疗方法包括导管消融或神经节丛的药物抑制、肾交感神经去神经支配、低水平迷走神经刺激和星状神经节阻滞。迄今为止,这些治疗方法的疗效各不相同。随着我们对心房颤动和心脏神经系统的理解不断深入,我们对治疗性神经调节的方法也将不断发展,以使患有心房颤动的患者受益。
