Figure 2. Effects of electrical stimulation on Ang II hypertension.

Figure 2

Left panel shows the effects of baroreflex activation on blood pressure in normal animals and animals administered angiotensin II to evoke hypertension. Electrical stimulation of baroreflexes caused sustained reductions in blood pressure in the control animals but the effects in the animals administered angiotensin II waned over time. Right panel shows effects of chronic electrical stimulation of the carotid sinus (baroreflex activation) on animals before and after renal denervation. The sustained reduction in blood pressure was unaffected by renal denervation. (From Lohmeier et al. 2005, 2007b, with permission.)
