Primary outcomes
Blood Pressure Changes
The results of an office cuff blood pressure measurement to be obtained from a time point prior to implant and as close to the implant procedure as possible (baseline), at 3- and 6- and 12-months post-implant, and then every 6 months up to 3 years from implant.
Cardiovascular Medication Changes
Information on currently-utilized doses of cardiovascular medications will be collected at pre-implant baseline, 3- and 6- and 12-months post-implant, and then every 6 months up to 3 years from implant.
Number of Health Care Utilizations
Health care utilization information (e.g. heart failure hospitalizations) is collected at 3- and 6- and 12-months post-implant, and then every 6 months up to 3 years from implant.
