New Implantable Device May Treat Severe Hypertension


If you have been denied Social Security disability benefits and need assistance with appealing your claim, a Fort Lauderdale Social Security disability benefit attorney can help.

In a report from U.S. Health News, a new implantable device may be able to treat severe hypertension. Researchers report that a device which is surgically implanted below the collarbone is able to send electrical jolts to the carotid arteries, which, in turn, lowers blood pressure.

The procedure is known as baroreflex activation therapy and is found to be as effective as taking drugs. It works by the electrical jolts tricking the body into thinking there is a spike in blood pressure. The response is to send out regulators which lower blood pressure.

This study has reached phase 3, generally the last phase before a device goes before the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for approval.

However, there may be risks involved as a study in 2010 revealed serious adverse effects related to the device and wires.

If you have been diagnosed with a severe condition that has resulted in you being unable to work, you should consult with a Fort Lauderdale Social Security disability benefit attorney to see what options you may have available.
