How does vagal nerve stimulation cause death?

Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) is generally a therapeutic intervention used to treat conditions like epilepsy and depression. However, in rare instances, excessive stimulation can lead to severe adverse effects, such as bradycardia (slow heart rate) or asystole (absence of heartbeat), which can be fatal. Additionally, if VNS disrupts normal autonomic functions or leads to complications like aspiration or respiratory distress, it could also indirectly contribute to life-threatening situations. Overall, while VNS is considered safe for most patients, its misuse or malfunction can pose serious risks.
