Clinical trials: Carotid Body
Hypertension,Essential
First-In-Human Study Evaluating a Novel Catheter Device in Subjects With Treatment-Resistant Hypertension
The carotid body is located at the bifurcation of the internal and external carotid arteries. It is a chemoreceptor that plays a role in the sympathetic nervous system and in the development and maintenance of hypertension.
