Detailed Description

Summary: The CVRx REBALANCE Registry includes patients who have been implanted with the Barostim System. Up to 5,000 patients will be enrolled. Data should be obtained from evaluations taken prior to implant, at implant, and every six months after device implant, up to the 36-month visit at which time each patient will be exited from the registry.
