Sentence examples for heart stimulation from inspiring English sources

It has been previously shown that the braided multifilament wire electrodes have a high failure rate both for sensing of spontaneous heart activity and for safe heart stimulation.

However, as insulin resistance is a hallmark of the metabolic altered heart, stimulation of glucose metabolism via inhibition of fatty acid metabolism may be blunted during insulin resistance.

Lewis et al. showed that in the human and pig heart, stimulation of the left vagus nerve can profoundly decrease contractility of the left ventricular myocardium, independent of its braducardic effect [ 54].

For example, reduced phospholamban phosphorylation by protein kinase inhibition [ 10, 12] and activation of protein phosphatases that dephosphorylate phospholamban [ 13, 14] typically observed in sepsis may in turn alter inotropic and relaxation responsiveness with changes in frequency of heart stimulation.

This inhibitory effect on excitation is best understood in the cardiovascular system, where vagus nerve stimulation slows heart rate through acetylcholine action on GPCRs in atrial pacemaker cells (Loewi and Navratil, 1926; Giles and Noble, 1976; Osterrieder et al., 1981).

This study was designed to develop a technique to selectively increase the sympathetic tone to the heart by cardiac sympathetic nerve stimulation (SNS).

A phase I clinical study has been conducted in Europe demonstrating the safety and feasibility of chronic vagus nerve stimulation in systolic heart failure patients.

Ongoing trials of the efficacy of vagus nerve stimulation in chronic heart failure patients are expected to confirm the results of the preliminary report showing significant improvements in the quality of life and left ventricular function.

Nearby, we found some excellent heart-stimulation in a gorge: Coire Mhic Nobuil.

Samaan [ 86] first illustrated that vagal stimulation attenuated the chronotropic enhancement associated with sympathetic nerve stimulation (SNS), by demonstrating that the actual change in HR with concomitant VNS and SNS was different to the algebraic sum of the heart rate changes during individual stimulation of each branch.

With repeated methadone administration, tolerance developed to the heart ODC stimulation by methadone, eventually resulting in decreased heart ODC accompanied by deficits in heart weight.
