Abstract
A system for stimulating a baroreflex of a patient that includes a first light source with a first emitter for emitting a first light, the first emitter at a first location proximate a target tissue having baroreceptor cells, and a second light source including a second emitter and for emitting a second light, the second emitter at a second location proximate the target tissue. The system also includes a control circuit 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 target tissue and the second light-like traverses a second pathway to arrive at and penetrate the second portion of the target tissue, thereby stimulating the baroreceptor cells and activating a baroreflex of the patient.
