First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of providing disordered breathing therapy to a patient, comprising:
- detecting one or more conditions associated with disordered breathing;
predicting disordered breathing based on the one or more detected conditions; and
delivering cardiac electrical stimulation therapy to mitigate the predicted disordered breathing, wherein at least one of detecting, predicting, and delivering is performed at least in part implantably.

Abstract
An approach to providing disordered breathing therapy includes providing therapy based on a prediction of disordered breathing. One or more patient conditions are detected and used to predict disordered breathing. Therapy is delivered to mitigate the predicted disordered breathing. The disordered breathing therapy may be adapted to enhance therapy efficacy and/or to reduce the impact of the therapy to the patient.
