Conclusions
From an electrophysiologic perspective, although differences in
nomenclature exist between cardiac neuroanatomists and cardiac
physiologists, the route of innervation to the heart tends to be fairly
consistent and should be defined by the cardiac plexus, the major
ganglionated part of which is found in the atrial epicardium.
Understanding of these specific anatomical principles of the innervation
of the heart may facilitate to create a framework for modern therapies
to directly target autonomic function.
