Abstract

Background: The heart is innervated by the autonomic nervous system, which contributes to the control of the heart's rhythm and coronary circulation. It has been suggested that the cardiac fibers of the vagus nerve play important roles in controlling circulatory functions and in protecting against atherosclerotic pathologies in coronary arteries.
