Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The review is well written in terms of content. However, typos need to be corrected.

I have no major comments. However, I would like the authors to refer to pulse field ablation (PFA) in the discussion section. PFA as a method of AF ablation will be more and more widely used. By definition, PFA does not damage nerves (and therefore GPs) and adjacent tissues, and its effectiveness in the treatment of AF is comparable to other ablative methods. Is it therefore necessary to modify the ANS since the lack of modulation during PFA shows comparable effectiveness. Please refer to this.

Author response: We would like to thank to the reviewer to point out this important issue. We have added PFA in the “Unanswered Questions” section. The text has been highlighted with yellow color.

Reviewer 2 Report

The paper extensively deals  the subject. It would be better in my opinion not too long sentences and shorter periods.
