title: On the neural connection.
abstract: Discoveries concerning cardiac neural-electrical modulation and local neural remodeling provide powerful new approaches for the development of novel antiarrhythmic strategies. This "view" of developments in this emerging field highlights recent advances and suggests that additional neurally targeted investigations have considerable potential for prevention of arrhythmic diseases.
