First Claim
Patent Images
1. An automated method for providing therapy to a patient, comprising:
- detecting disordered breathing;
adapting a cardiac electrical therapy to mitigate the disordered breathing; and
delivering the adapted therapy to the patient, wherein at least one of detecting, adapting, and delivering is performed at least in part implantably.

Abstract
An approach to providing disordered breathing therapy includes detecting disordered breathing and adapting a therapy to mitigate the disordered breathing. The therapy may be adapted to enhance therapy effectiveness, to provide therapy that reduces an impact of the therapy on the patient, or to achieve other therapeutic goals. Cardiac electrical therapy to mitigate the disordered breathing may include various cardiac pacing regimens and/or delivery of non-excitatory electrical stimulation to the heart.
