Six-minute hall walk (6MHW) distance of ≥ 150 m AND ≤ 400 m 7. Deemed an acceptable candidate for the implant procedure by the investigator Exclusion Criteria: 1. Known or clinically suspected baroreflex failure or autonomic neuropathy 2. Currently implanted with a barostimulator device 3. Received cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) within six months of implantation 4. Received a CardioMEMS device within three months of the screening visit 5.
