Abstract

Heart failure (HF) is the endstage of multiple cardiovascular diseases.Impaired autonomic regulation and sympathetic-parasympathetic imbalance are considered key factors in HF progression.Baroreflex activation therapy (BAT),a novel device-based therapy which stimulates the carotid sinuses and regulates autonomic function,has demonstrated good efficacy in treating HF and improving prognosis.This review summarized the results of the latest relevant studies to provide support for further study of BAT.

Keywords: autonomic nervous system; baroreflex activation therapy; device-based therapy; heart failure.
