N2 - Electrical stimulation of the carotid nerve has effected reversal of systemic arterial hypertension. The physiologic basis for this new therapeutic approach and the laboratory experiences with acute and prolonged stimulation are reviewed. The engineering specifications of electrical devices employed to date are outlined, and the clinical experience with eleven patients treated with chronic stimulation of the carotid sinus nerves is presented.
