Neural remodeling in the autonomic nervous system contributes significantly to sudden cardiac death. The fabric of cardiac excitability and propagation are controlled by autonomic innervation. Heart disease predisposes to malignant ventricular arrhythmias by causing neural remodeling at the level of the myocardium, the intrinsic cardiac ganglia, extra-cardiac intrathoracic sympathetic ganglia, extra-thoracic ganglia, spinal cord, and the brainstem, as well as the higher centers and the cortex. Therapeutic strategies at each of these levels aim to restore the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches. Understanding this complex neural network will provide further important therapeutic insights into the treatment of sudden cardiac death.
