In article number 1902128, Lilei Yu, Hong Jiang, Xiangheng Xiao, and co‐workers present a new near infrared neuromodulation for protecting against malignant ventricular arrhythmias. Near infrared irradiation of the left stellate ganglion treated with the synthesized PEG‐gold nanorods could reversely suppress LSG function, neural activity, and the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). The concept may become a noninvasive method for modulating cardiac autonomic nerves, thereby benefiting more patients with VAs in the future.
