   Arlet Lara, the first patient in South Florida to get an FDA-approved nerve stimulation implant designed to help stroke survivors regain function in their arms, goes through exercises while her ...

4. Baroreflex activation therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baroreflex_activation_therapy

   Baroreflex activation is distinct from vagal stimulation. [8] [9] Electrical stimulation of the external surfaces of the carotid sinus activates baroreceptors believed to be in the adventitia of the artery. This stimulates an afferent limb which activates central nervous system pathways that in turn exert two different but synergistic autonomic ...

5. Electroconvulsive therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroconvulsive_therapy

   ECT can cause a lack of blood flow and oxygen to the heart, heart arrhythmia, and "persistent asystole". A 2019 systematic review and meta-analysis of 82 studies found that the rate of major adverse cardiac events with ECT was 1 in 39 patients or about 1 in 200 to 500 procedures. [80] [81] The risk of death with ECT however is low.

6. Cardiac electrophysiology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_electrophysiology

   Drawing of the ECG, with labels of intervals. Cardiac electrophysiology is a branch of cardiology and basic science focusing on the electrical activities of the heart.The term is usually used in clinical context, to describe studies of such phenomena by invasive (intracardiac) catheter recording of spontaneous activity as well as of cardiac responses to programmed electrical stimulation ...

7. Vagus nerve stimulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagus_nerve_stimulation

   Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a medical treatment that involves delivering electrical impulses to the vagus nerve. It is used as an add-on treatment for certain types of intractable epilepsy , cluster headaches, treatment-resistant depression and stroke rehabilitation.

8. Electrophysiology study - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophysiology_study

   A cardiac electrophysiology study (EP test or EP study) is a minimally invasive procedure using catheters introduced through a vein or artery to record electrical activity from within the heart. [1] This electrical activity is recorded when the heart is in a normal rhythm (sinus rhythm) to assess the conduction system of the heart and to look ...

9. Neurostimulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurostimulation

   Neurostimulation is the purposeful modulation of the nervous system's activity using invasive (e.g. microelectrodes) or non-invasive means (e.g. transcranial magnetic stimulation or transcranial electric stimulation, tES, such as tDCS or transcranial alternating current stimulation, tACS).
