Editorial Focus: role for neural growth factor in autonomically driven arrhythmogenesis? Focus on: “Structural neuroplasticity following T5 spinal cord transection: increased cardiac sympathetic innervation density and SPN arborization”

Abstract

the autonomic nervous system has long been known to exert powerful influence on the genesis of and vulnerability to cardiac arrhythmias. With regard to ventricular arrhythmias, increased sympathetic outflow is generally thought to be proarrhythmic, while parasympathetic drive is thought to be
