    摘要: An embodiment uses an accelerometer to sense heart sounds, and determines heart rate info nation using the sensed heart sounds. An embodiment uses an accelerometer to sense respiratory activity. An embodiment delivers a programmed neural stimulation therapy with a programmed duty cycle, where the programmed duty cycle includes a stimulation ON portion followed by a stimulation OFF portion. An electrode electrically connected to the implanted neural stimulation device is used to remotely detect cardiac activity. The remotely detected cardiac activity is used to detect heart rate information during the stimulation ON portion and to detect heart rate information during the stimulation OFF portion. The detected heart rate information and/or the detected respiration information are used to control a neural stimulation therapy performed by the neural stimulator device and/or are used to provide diagnostic information for the patient's condition.

    摘要: A neurostimulation system measures a cardiac parameter at various cardiac intervals and analyzes its restitution, including computing a restitution slope being a rate of change of the restitution parameter with respect to change in the cardiac interval. In various embodiments, the system uses the restitution slope to provide for adaptive control of neurostimulation. In various embodiments, one or more cardiac parameters such as action potential duration (APD), conduction velocity (CV), QT interval (QT), and/or T-wave morphology (TM) parameter are measured and analyzed for restitution of each parameter, which is then used to control the delivery of the neurostimulation.
