Neural stimulation systems, devices and methods

摘要

Various system embodiments comprise circuitry to determine when an arrhythmia has terminated, and a neural stimulator adapted to temporarily deliver neural stimulation therapy to assist with recovering from the arrhythmia in response to termination of the arrhythmia.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
chronically performing a prophylactic neural stimulation therapy; in response to a therapy trigger, delivering an arrhythmia therapy, wherein delivering the other therapy includes temporarily delivering therapeutic neural stimulation as part of the other therapy; determining when an arrhythmia has terminated, and responding to termination of the arrhythmia by initiating a post-therapy neural stimulation that has a programmed duration, wherein stimulation in the post-therapy neural stimulation is distinct from stimulation in the prophylactic neural stimulation therapy; and upon completion of the other therapy, chronically performing the prophylactic neural stimulation therapy.
