Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)
Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) will be performed percutaneously through the internal jugular vein during the patient's routine VT ablation procedure. The nerve will be stimulated using standard pacing systems used for clinical purposes. A series of stimulation frequencies and pulse widths will be used to define optimal effects and 'dosing'. Activation recovery interval (ARI) will be measured from the unipolar electrograms. In addition, heart rate and blood pressure responses will be continuously recorded.
