Automatic baroreflex modulation responsive to adverse event
First Claim
1. A system for providing baroreflex stimulation, comprising:
- an adverse event detector to sense an adverse event and provide a signal indicative of the adverse event; and
a baroreflex stimulator, including;
a pulse generator to provide a baroreflex stimulation signal adapted to provide a baroreflex therapy; and
a modulator to receive the signal indicative of the adverse event and modulate the baroreflex stimulation signal based on the signal indicative of the adverse event to change the baroreflex therapy from a first baroreflex therapy to a second baroreflex therapy.

Abstract
An aspect of the present subject matter relates to a system for providing baroreflex stimulation. An embodiment of the system comprises an adverse event detector to sense an adverse event and provide a signal indicative of the adverse event, and a baroreflex stimulator. The stimulator includes a pulse generator to provide a baroreflex stimulation signal adapted to provide a baroreflex therapy, and a modulator to receive the signal indicative of the adverse event and modulate the baroreflex stimulation signal based on the signal indicative of the adverse event to change the baroreflex therapy from a first baroreflex therapy to a second baroreflex therapy. Other aspects are provided herein.

34. A method for operating an implantable medical device, comprising:
-
receiving a signal regarding a detected adverse event at a baroreceptor stimulator;
performing a first baropacing therapy using the baroreceptor stimulator when the adverse event is not detected; and
automatically performing a second baropacing therapy using the baroreceptor stimulator when the adverse event is detected. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 53, 54, 55, 56)
