Method for blood pressure modulation using electrical stimulation of the coronary baroreceptors

An apparatus comprising:

• a stimulation circuit, configured to be electrically coupled to an electrode assembly, the electrode assembly configured to deliver an electrical sub-myocardial activation stimulation to a coronary baroreceptor from a location within a left atrial appendage of a heart, the stimulation circuit configured to generate the electrical stimulation for delivery to the coronary baroreceptor via the first electrode assembly;
• and
• a control circuit wirelessly or conductively coupled to the stimulation circuit and configured to control delivery of the electrical stimulation;
• wherein the stimulation circuit is configured to provide electrical stimulation therapy specified to assist a blood pressure reduction at least in part via an inhibition of the sympathetic nervous system induced via the electrical sub-myocardial activation stimulation.

A method, comprising:

• forming a first stimulation circuit configured to be electrically coupled to a first electrode assembly configured to deliver an electrical sub-myocardial activation stimulation to a coronary baroreceptor from a location within a left atrial appendage of a heart, the first stimulation circuit configured to generate the electrical stimulation for delivery to the coronary baroreceptor via the first electrode assembly;
• forming a control circuit configured to control delivery of the electrical stimulation;
• and
• wirelessly or conductively coupling a control circuit to the first stimulation circuit.
