Rate regularization of cardiac pacing for disordered breathing therapy
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for delivering disordered breathing therapy to a patient, comprising:
- obtaining cardiac intervals between cardiac beats;
determining a first indicated pacing interval based at least on a cardiac interval duration and a previous value of the first indicated pacing interval; and
providing cardiac pacing to mitigate disordered breathing based on the first indicated pacing interval.

Abstract
An approach to providing disordered breathing therapy includes providing cardiac overdrive pacing using rate regularization. Overdrive pacing therapy may be initiated following detection or prediction of disordered breathing. Characteristics of the disordered breathing or other patient conditions may be used to modify the pacing therapy.

20. A system for providing disordered breathing therapy to a patient, comprising:
-
a circuit configured to detect cardiac beats and obtain cardiac intervals between cardiac beats;
a controller coupled to the circuit and configured to determine a first indicated pacing interval based at least on a cardiac interval duration and a previous value of the first indicated pacing interval; and
a cardiac pacing circuit coupled to the controller and configured to provide cardiac pacing to mitigate disordered breathing based on the first indicated pacing interval. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
