Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Devices and methods described herein may, among other uses, favorably cause the activation and/or deactivation of vascular baroreceptors in order to achieve a desired impact on a physiological condition, such as baroreflex-regulated conditions, hypertension, hypotension, nervous system disorders, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disease, heart failure, cardiac arrhythmia, renal disease, respiratory disease, diabetes, and insulin resistance. The devices and methods may be used in concert with each other and/or other treatments, medications, interventions, or behavioral regimens. They may also be used in concert with devices and methods that perform or assist with assessing or measuring a mammal's blood pressure, assessing, measuring, or predicting the impact of the described methods and devices on the patient's condition (including blood pressure), and/or protecting the surrounding anatomy from adverse effects.
