Through the afferent fibers, it […]

What is Vagal Inhibition?

By Vivi Yu on September 27, 2022

Vagal inhibition simply means the reduction of the functions of the vagus nerve to achieve some desired bodily effects. It is a type of neuromodulation which sends stimuli or impulses to inhibit the vagus nerve and hereby reduces the physiological functions of the vagus nerve. This type of treatment is used to alter and reduce […]

Vagal Maneuvers: 7 Techniques Used To Slow Heart Rate

By Vivi Yu on September 20, 2022

Vagal maneuvers are known techniques used to increase vagal parasympathetic strength when trying to treat and diagnose different arrhythmias. Vagal maneuvers are safe and easily performed techniques mostly done first to differentiate SVT from ventricular tachycardias (VT) or terminate incidents of stable supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). (1) The heart contains two natural pacemakers called the sinoatrial […]

Vagus Nerve Stimulation At Home

By Vivi Yu on September 13, 2022

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a type of neuromodulation that involves the use of a device that sends electrical impulses to stimulate the vagus nerve. This type of treatment is used to alter the activity of the nerves. Vagus nerve stimulation(VNS) requires the implantation of a device that sends mild pulses of electrical energy through […]
