A system for treating a medical condition in a living body, comprising two subsystems, an implant subsystem and an electrical stimulation unit subsystem. The implant subsystem comprises at least one electrostimulation module, contains at least one electrically conductive electrode and, preferably, an anchoring member. The electrical stimulation unit, adapted for producing and controlling electrical waveforms, is connected to the electrodes. The implant subsystem is implanted adjacent to at least one of the following structures: the carotid sinus nerve, aortic nerve, common carotid artery, external carotid artery, internal carotid artery, carotid artery bifurcation, carotid body, aortic body or aortic arch receptors. The electrical stimulation unit is maintained outside the patient's body and is adapted to program, generate, control and deliver the electrical waveform via a wired or a wireless connection to the implant subsystem, thereby stimulating the structure it is adjacent to and treating the medical condition.
A system for treating a medical condition in a living body of a patient, comprising:
