Implantable vagal neurostimulator with bounded autotitration |
摘要 |
A system for providing electrical stimulation of cervical vagus nerves (15, 16) for treatment of chronic cardiac dysfunction with bounded titration is provided. The system includes a patient-operable external controller to transmit a plurality of unique signals. The system further includes an implantable neurostimulator (12), which includes a pulse generator to deliver electrical therapeutic stimulation tuned to restore autonomic balance through continuously-cycling, intermittent and periodic electrical pulses through a pair of helical electrodes (14) via an electrically coupled nerve stimulation therapy lead (13). The neurostimulator also includes a recordable memory storing an autotitration operating mode that includes a maximum stimulation intensity and is configured to increase an intensity of the delivered electrical therapeutic stimulation up to a level not exceeding the maximum stimulation intensity upon receipt of one of the unique signals. |
