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

  • at least one stimulation electrode for stimulating at least one chamber of a heart of the patient; and

    at least one controller configured to execute a stimulation pattern comprising multiple stimulation pulses,wherein at least one stimulation pulse of the multiple stimulation pulses has a first stimulation setting configured to reduce atrial kick in at least one ventricle of the heart, andwherein at least one stimulation pulse of the multiple stimulation pulses has a second stimulation setting configured to reduce a baroreflex response to a reduction in blood pressure resulting from the reduction in atrial kick.
