Key result
Intermittent impulse train stimulation of the sinus nerves had a negligible difference on blood pressure reduction compared to constant frequency stimulation, but a greater effect on heart rate.

May inform device programming for selective chronotropic effects; hypothesis-generating for baroreceptor stimulation therapies.
Jonzon et al. (1972) studied this question. Sinus nerve stimulation (intermittent impulse trains) vs. Constant frequency stimulation was evaluated on Blood pressure and heart rate reduction. Intermittent impulse train stimulation of the sinus nerves had a negligible difference on blood pressure reduction compared to constant frequency stimulation, but a greater effect on heart rate.
