    摘要: Devices, systems and methods are described by which the blood pressure, nervous system activity, and neurohormonal activity may be selectively and controllably reduced by activating baroreceptors. A baroreceptor activation device is positioned near a baroreceptor, preferably a baroreceptor located in the carotid sinus. A control system may be used to modulate the baroreceptor activation device. The control system may utilize an algorithm defining a stimulus regimen which promotes long term efficacy and reduces power requirements/consumption. The baroreceptor activation device may utilize electrodes to activate the baroreceptors. The electrodes may be adapted for connection to the carotid arteries at or near the carotid sinus, and may be designed to minimize extraneous tissue stimulation.

    摘要: An implantable medical device, having a neural stimulator adapted to generate neural stimulation signals, an electrode configuration tester for testing a first electrode configuration for stimulating a desired neural target, and a controller. The controller is configured to control the neural stimulator to selectively provide a first neural stimulation signal with appropriate signal characteristics to stimulate the desired neural target using the first electrical configuration and a second neural stimulation signal with appropriate signal characteristics to stimulate the desired neural target using a second electrode configuration, and adapted to communicate with the electrode configuration tester and to respond to an indication that an efficacy of the first electrode configuration is lower than a threshold by providing the neural stimulation using the second neural stimulation signal.
