Patent ID: 8715327

Claim:
A system for stimulating a baroreflex of a patient, comprising: a first light source including a first emitting site for emitting a first light, the first emitting site configured to be secured at a first location proximate a target tissue having baroreceptors and to be aimed at a first portion of the baroreceptors; a second light source including a second emitting site and for emitting a second light, the second emitting site configured to be secured at a second location proximate the target tissue and to be aimed at a second portion of the baroreceptors; and a control circuit operably coupled to the first and the second light sources, the control circuit configured to activate the first and the second light sources such that the first light traverses a first pathway to arrive at and penetrate the first portion of the baroreceptors and the second light traverses a second pathway to arrive at and penetrate the second portion of the baroreceptors, thereby stimulating the baroreceptors and activating a baroreflex of the patient.
