ABSTRACT
Cardiac Neuromodulation Therapy (CNT) is a novel device-based therapeutic method for reducing systolic blood pressure (SBP). It incorporates asymmetrical pacing algorithm with alternating shortened and prolonged atrioventricular intervals into existing pacemaker hardware. It has been developed to meet growing demand for non-pharmacological therapies for patients with resistant arterial hypertension (HTN) and indications for permanent pacing. In this article, we explain the mechanism of the programmable therapy and review current literature, including the most recent clinical trials.
