Cost-effectiveness of implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Catheter stimulation of the inferior interatrial ganglionated parasympathetic plexus decreases the ventricular rate during atrial fibrillation (AF) in humans. However, the relatively high stimulation voltages might prevent implementation of neurostimulation in chronic implantable devices. From myocardial e...
