Reconnecting the vagus nerve to the heart through nerve conduit preserves cardiac function in a minipig model of right cardiac vagotomy https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scitranslmed.aea4306 Heart-brain connection: A new study reveals role of vagus nerve in keeping the heart young https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1110651 The secret to a healthier and "younger" heart lies in the vagus nerve. A recent study has shown that preserving bilateral cardiac vagal innervation is an anti-aging factor. In particular, the right cardiac vagus nerve emerges as a true guardian of cardiomyocyte health, helping to preserve the longevity of the heart independently of heart rate
