Popis: We aimed to determine if non-invasive electrical spinal cord stimulation (NIE-SCS) is associated with acute changes in systemic and pulmonary hemodynamics and cardiac electrophysiology at rest. Nine subjects without structural heart disease referred for catheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmia were included. NIE-SCS was performed in each patient at vertebral levels T1, T7, and T11. Higher systolic BP (BPs) was detected during T1 NIE-SCS as compared with baseline (147.9 ± 22.5 vs 135.4 ± 17.4 mmHg; P = 0.02). Atrioventricular nodal effective refractory period (AVN ERP) was shorter during stimulation at T1 and T7, when compared with baseline values (baseline 303.3 ± 15.0 vs 272.0 ± 19.2 for T1 vs 278.0 ± 8.3 ms for T7; P
