Characterisation and distribution of human coronary artery innervation
Human coronary arteries are highly innervated with sympathetic nerve fibres, with significant variation in the distribution and density. Understanding these patterns informs pathophysiological understanding and, potentially, the development of catheter-based approaches for cardiac autonomic modulation.
