Disruption of cardiac cholinergic neurons enhances susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias

Catheter ablation is a common therapy for atrial fibrillation but disrupts cardiac cholinergic neurons. Here the authors report that cholinergic neurons innervate heart ventricles and show that their ablation leads to increased susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias in mouse models and in patient...
