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
A system for providing baroreflex stimulation comprises a sensor to detect a parameter and provide a signal indicative of the parameter, and a baroreflex stimulator. The baroreflex stimulator includes a driver to provide a control signal adapted to deliver a baroreflex therapy, and a controller to receive the signal indicative of the parameter and modulate the control signal based on the signal indicative of the parameter to change the baroreflex therapy from a first baroreflex therapy to a second baroreflex therapy.
