    Abstract: In an example, a pacing therapy can be optimized using information indicative of an offset duration between an intrinsic first atrioventricular delay of a subject at rest and a second atrioventricular delay specified to enhance a cardiac output of the subject heart when the subject is at rest. Optimizing the therapy can include receiving information about a heart rate of the subject and receiving information about an intrinsic, heart rate dependent atrioventricular delay. In an example, a therapy parameter, such as a therapy atrioventricular delay, can be adjusted using information about the received heart rate of the subject, the heart-rate-dependent third AV delay, or the offset duration.

    Abstract: System and methods for adhering a patch of stimulation electrode(s) to blood vessels to stimulate a target site on the blood vessel are described. In various embodiments, the system includes an adhesion patch and at least one electrode. The adhesion patch includes a passive adhesion mechanism that may produce an adhesive force sufficiently strong to adhere the adhesion patch to the exterior of the blood vessel and to operationally position the at least one electrode for use in electrically stimulating a target site of the blood vessel. The adhesion patch may also include a release mechanism that is configured for a user to disengage the patch from the exterior of the blood vessel without significant trauma to the blood vessel. After being released, the adhesion patch may be re-adhered to a different target site of the blood vessel and stimulate the different target site.

    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a cardiac signal sensing circuit and a first implantable electrode pair. At least one electrode of the first implantable electrode pair is configured for placement at a location in a right branch of a His bundle of the subject. The apparatus can include a therapy circuit and a control circuit. The control circuit can include an AH delay calculation circuit configured to calculate an optimal paced AH delay interval. The pacing stimulation location is distal to a location of RV conduction block in a right branch of the His bundle. The control circuit initiates delivery of an electrical stimulation pulse to the stimulation location in the His bundle according to the calculated paced AH delay interval and in response to an intrinsic depolarization event sensed in an atrium of the subject.

    Abstract: Various embodiments intermittently deliver a sympathetic stimulus, including deliver a sequence of stress-inducing pacing pulses adapted to increase sympathetic tone during the stress-inducing pacing. The stress-inducing pacing results in a parasympathetic reflex after the sequence of stress-inducing pacing. The embodiment further delivers neural stimulation to elicit a parasympathetic response or a sympathetic response in a coordinated manner with respect to the sequence of stress-inducing pacing pulses. The neural stimulation is timed to elicit the parasympathetic response after the sequence of stress-inducing pacing pulses and concurrent with at least a portion of the parasympathetic reflex to the sequence of stress-inducing pacing to enhance a parasympathetic effect of the parasympathetic reflex, or to elicit the sympathetic response during the sequence of stress-inducing pulses to provide a larger sympathetic stimulus, resulting in an enhanced parasympathetic reflex in response to the large sympathetic stimulus.
