“Neuro-cardiovascular” surgery: Innovations for the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease

Abstract The concept of performing surgery on the conduction system and the nervous system of the heart with the use of peripheral nervous tissue, Purkinje fibers or biophysical means, may solve many enigmas concerning the treatment of arrythmias. More importantly, a correlation is suggested between coronary artery disease, the state of depolarization of the myocardial cells, local electrical and magnetic fields, the state of local innervation of coronary blood vessels, the activity of the specialized conducting system, and higher central nervous system centers. This suggested correlation may contribute significantly in the treatment, and eventually, in the prevention of coronary artery disease.
