Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Rheos ON

Study participants in this arm will have the device turn on for six months and remains on.

Group Type OTHER

Rheos Baroreflex Activation Therapy System

Intervention Type DEVICE

The two (2) Rheos Carotid Sinus Leads conduct the activation energy from the Rheos Implantable Pulse Generator to the baroreceptors located on the left (Left Carotid Sinus Lead) and right (Right Carotid Sinus Lead) carotid sinus. This energy activates the baroreflex by inducing signals that the brain interprets as elevated blood pressure.

Rheos OFF

Study participants in this arm will have the device turned off for 6 months and then turned on.

Group Type OTHER

Rheos Baroreflex Activation Therapy System

Intervention Type DEVICE

The two (2) Rheos Carotid Sinus Leads conduct the activation energy from the Rheos Implantable Pulse Generator to the baroreceptors located on the left (Left Carotid Sinus Lead) and right (Right Carotid Sinus Lead) carotid sinus. This energy activates the baroreflex by inducing signals that the brain interprets as elevated blood pressure.
