See article by Sosunov et al. [1] (pages 659–669) in this issue.

That the sympathetic nervous system has profound and recurrent effects on cardiac electrical activity has been an article of faith (amply supported by fact) for decades. However, our understanding of the role of sympathetic activity in the development of cardiac arrhythmias remains fragmented. In this issue of the journal, Sosunov and co-workers contribute an important piece to this puzzle [1]. They present a conceptually straightforward and technically demanding series of experiments that asks the question ‘what are the electrophysiological consequences of right stellectomy in . . .
