Carotid Baroreceptor Stimulation for Resistant Hypertension
Pharmacologic therapy for hypertension is effective for the majo rity of patients with hypertension, but there remains a subset of the population with treatment resistant hypertension who cannot achieve their blood pressure (BP) goal despite multiple medications. For these patients at increased risk of cardio vascular disease and end-organ damage, additional therapies need to be considered. Thi...
متن کاملResistant Hypertension Treatment through Carotid Baroreceptor Stimulation
A significant number of hypertensive subjects fail to achieve adequate blood pressure control despite adherence to maximal doses of several antihypertensive drugs. Electrical stimulation of the carotid sinus is a new and interesting approach to the treatment of resistant hypertension. The purpose of this paper is to overview the argument starting from the historical physiological background to ...
متن کاملCarotid Baroreceptor Stimulation for the Treatment of Resistant Hypertension
Interventional activation of the carotid baroreflex has been an appealing idea for the management of resistant hypertension for several decades, yet its clinical application remained elusive and a goal for the future. It is only recently that the profound understanding of the complex anatomy and pathophysiology of the circuit, combined with the accumulation of relevant experimental and clinical...
متن کاملCarotid Baroreceptor Stimulation: A Potential Solution for Resistant Hypertension
Resistant hypertension indicates that the blood pressure cannot reach the target value despite standard drug treatment, which harbors an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. The role of the carotid sinus in regulating blood pressure has long been observed; thereby, the idea that treating resistant hypertension by stimulating carotid baroreceptors emerged. Nevertheless, this idea has been...
متن کاملEditorial Commentary Electrical Carotid Baroreceptor Stimulation in Resistant Hypertension
Resistant hypertension, as identified when administration of a thiazide diuretic plus 2 other antihypertensive drugs, all at full doses, fails to control an elevated blood pressure, is by no means a minor clinical problem. According to recent publications,1 the number of individuals falling into this category is 15% to 20% of the overall hypertensive population. Given the high prevalence of hyp...
