Vagus nerve stimulation may be used in the therapy of myocarditis
Li H et al. - Although a large number of different causes have been identified as leading to myocarditis, inflammation plays a pivotal role in its pathological process. Vagus nerve stimulation has been found to lower the heart rate and recover the normal heart rhythm which may relieve the cardiac symptoms in myocarditis.
