System and method to deliver therapy in presence of another therapy

摘要

Various aspects relate to a method. In various embodiments, a therapy of a first therapy type is delivered, and it is identified whether a therapy of a second therapy type is present to affect the therapy of the first therapy type. Delivery of the therapy is controlled based on the presence of the therapy of the second therapy type. Some embodiments deliver the therapy of the first type using one set of parameters in the presence of a therapy of a second type, and deliver the therapy of the first type using another set of parameters when the therapy of the second type is not present. In various embodiments, one of the therapy types includes a cardiac rhythm management therapy, and the other includes a neural stimulation therapy. Other aspects and embodiments are provided herein.

主权项

1. A system to deliver an electrical therapy to a patient to whom another electrical therapy is also delivered, comprising:
an electrical stimulator to deliver electrical pulses to the patient for the electrical therapy; and a controller connected to the electrical stimulator and configured to operate in a first mode to control delivery of the electrical pulses for the electrical therapy when the other electrical therapy is not delivered and to operate in a second mode in response to delivery of the other electrical therapy, wherein operating in the first mode includes performing a first sensing operation and operating in the second mode includes performing a second sensing operation different from the first sensing operation.
