Background Right cervical vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) provides cardioprotective effects against acute ischemia-reperfusion injury in small animals. However, inconsistent findings have been reported. Objective To determine whether low-amplitude, left cervical VNS applied either intermittently or co...
