Carotid baroreflex activation: past, present, and future Scheffers IJ; Kroon AA; de Leeuw PWCurr Hypertens Rep 2010[Apr]; 12 (2): 61-6Electrical activation of the carotid baroreceptor system is an attractive therapy for the treatment of resistant hypertension. In the past, several attempts were made to directly activate the baroreceptor system in humans, but the method had to be restricted to a few selected patients. Adverse effects, the need for better electrical devices and better surgical techniques, and the lack of knowledge about long-term effects has greatly hampered developments in this area for many years. Recently, a new and promising device was evaluated in a multicenter feasibility trial, which showed a clinically and statistically significant reduction in office systolic blood pressure (>20 mm Hg). This reduction could be sustained for at least 2 years with an acceptable safety profile. In the future, this new device may stimulate further application of electrical activation of the carotid baroreflex in treatment-resistant hypertension.|Animals[MESH]|Assisted Circulation/instrumentation/methods[MESH]|Baroreflex/*physiology[MESH]|Blood Pressure/*physiology[MESH]|Carotid Arteries/*innervation[MESH]|Diastole[MESH]|Electric Stimulation Therapy[MESH]|Electrodes, Implanted[MESH]|Feasibility Studies[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hypertension/*physiopathology/therapy[MESH]|Pressoreceptors/*metabolism[MESH]|Systole[MESH] |
