Abstrakt		In this study we have developed a model of using a thirty-nine-electrode spiral nerve cuff for selective stimulation of fibres in the left vagus nerve of a man to control the heart rate and tachycardia in particular. Furthermore, according to our recent work on experiments in human, we predicted the precisely defined stimulus shape and parameters. In a forthcoming study we are to conduct experiments to determine the effect of cervical selective vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) on the atrial fibrillation in a man using a developed model and designed implantable thirty-nine-electrode spiral cuff. Specifically, we intend to look at the effects on the atrial fibrillation when the superficial compartments of the left vagus nerve, including the cardiac branches containing nerve fibres A, B and C, are selectively stimulated with the precisely defined stimulation parameters.
