| 摘要 |
A method for treating heart failure in a patient involves activating a baroreflex system of the patient with at least one baroreflex activation device and resynchronizing the patient's heart with a cardiac resynchronization device. Activating the baroreflex system and resynchronizing the heart may be performed simultaneously or sequentially, in various embodiments. In some embodiments, one or more patient conditions are sensed, and such condition(s) may be used for setting and/or modifying the baroreflex activation and/or heart resynchronization. A device for treating heart failure includes a baroreflex activation member coupled with a cardiac resynchronization member. Some embodiments further include one or more sensors and a processor. In some embodiments, the device is fully implantable.
