sympathetic denervation with minor arrhythmias

Based on the above findings, we suggest myocardial sympathetic denervation with lowered initial H/M (heart-to-mediastinum count ratios) will develop following surgical sympathectomy at upper cervical ganglia, which will accompanied by compensated uptake-1 system on presynaptic nerve endings of postganglionic neuronal cells, demonstrated by lowered MWO, and preserved homodynamic function and ECG changes except for minor arrhythmias.
