• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 19 (actual)
• Sponsor: BackBeat Medical Inc · Industry
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The purpose of this study is to test whether the A-V sequential pacing strategy shown to effectively reduce blood pressure in a dog model of hypertension also reduces blood pressure acutely in patients with hypertension (systolic blood pressure greater than 140 mmHg) despite medical treatments.

Conditions

• Hypertension

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	A dual chamber pacing system (BackBeat Medical)	For each patient, one pacing electrode was placed in the right atrium and the second electrode was placed in the right ventricle. With a dual chamber pacing system (BackBeat Medical) it was possible to pace the heart with a wide variety of pacing settings.
