Summary

This early study tests if a mild electrical pulse to a nerve in the ear (vagus nerve) can help protect the heart in people receiving strong chemotherapy for breast cancer or lymphoma. About 104 adults who recently started chemo and have extra heart risks will be randomly assigned to get the nerve stimulation or a fake version. The goal is to see if this simple, non-invasive method can improve heart function and reduce inflammation.
