What is the connections between the vagus nerve and the heart are severed?

If the connection between the vagus nerve and the heart is severed, it can disrupt the normal regulation of heart rate and function. The vagus nerve helps to slow down the heart rate and regulate cardiac activity. Severing this connection can result in an increased heart rate and potential irregularities in heart rhythm.
