1. A method of treating acute heart failure in a patient in need thereof comprising:
inserting a delivery device into a pulmonary artery; and applying a therapy signal to sympathetic cardiopulmonary fibers surrounding the pulmonary artery to selectively modulate the sympathetic cardiopulmonary fibers to treat the acute heart failure, wherein the sympathetic cardiopulmonary fibers affect heart contractility more than heart rate, wherein the modulation increases heart contractility. |
