1. A system for reducing blood pressure in a patient, the system comprising:

  • a stimulation circuit configured to deliver a stimulation pulse to at least one cardiac chamber of a heart of the patient; and

    at least one controller configured to execute delivery of one or more stimulation patterns of stimulation pulses to the at least one cardiac chamber,wherein at least one of the stimulation pulses stimulates the heart to cause increased atrial stretch of a wall of an atrium as a result of timing of atrial contraction and ventricular contraction, andwherein the increased atrial stretch is higher than an atrial stretch would be without the stimulation, such that the blood pressure of the patient is reduced.
