the Impact of Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation on Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction

The stimulation times are fixed between 07:00-09:00 in the morning and 19:00-21:00 in the evening, with an interval of 12 hours between the two sessions. The device is set with a pulse width of 200 microseconds and a pulse frequency of 20 hertz. The stimulation intensity is individually adjusted to above the perception threshold and below the discomfort level of 1 milliampere.

Vagus nerve stimulation is delivered through a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation device by attaching an ear clip to the tragus. But no stimulation will be delivered. The sham stimulation will be performed twice daily, each session lasting for half an hour. The stimulation times are fixed between 07:00-09:00 in the morning and 19:00-21:00 in the evening, with an interval of 12 hours between the two sessions.
