A method and apparatus (30) for modifying contractility of the heart (20) of a patient. The method includes receiving signals from a sensor (46, 48) coupled to the body of the patient indicative of physical exertion by the patient. The signals are analyzed to estimate a metabolic demand of the patient, and excitable tissue control (ETC) stimulation is applied so as to enhance contractility of the heart muscle responsive to the metabolic need. |
