1. A neural stimulation system, comprising:

  • a stimulation output circuit adapted to deliver sympathetic stimulation pulses and parasympathetic stimulation pulses;

    an autonomic balance monitoring circuit adapted to sense one or more signals indicative of autonomic activities; and

    a stimulation control circuit coupled to the stimulation output circuit and the autonomic balance monitoring circuit, the stimulation control circuit including;

    a sympathetic stimulation controller adapted to control the delivery of the sympathetic stimulation pulses for sympathetic excitation and sympathetic inhibition; and

    a parasympathetic stimulation controller adapted to control the delivery of the parasympathetic stimulation pulses for parasympathetic excitation and parasympathetic inhibition.
