CVRx, Inc. announced new real-world evidence demonstrating that use of the company’s Barostim implant was associated wit ...

Barostim is an implantable device that delivers electrical pulses to baroreceptors located in the wall of the carotid artery. Baroreceptors activate the body’s baroreflex, which in turn triggers an ...

Novel methods for assessing baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) using only pulse photoplethysmography (PPG) signals are presented. Proposed methods were evaluated with a data set containing electrocardiogram ...

Comparisons of baroreflex-related supine physiomarkers revealed significant differences between those with and without OH. We characterized cardiovascular autonomic dynamics while standing, leveraging ...

This study suggested an accurate strategy to improve brain activity classification and provide a better application of ERPs to various fields. Both sympathetic hyperactivation and baroreflex ...

The recent EMPA-REG OUTCOME study (Empagliflozin, Cardiovascular Outcome Event Trial in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients) demonstrated significant reduction in cardiovascular mortality with ...

Figure 1. Cause of death in prevalent dialysis patients in the United States, 2005 to 2007. 1 AMI indicates acute myocardial infarction; CHF, congestive heart failure; CVA, cerebrovascular accident.
