1. A method of providing therapy to a patient to prevent an occurrence of a dangerous cardiac event, the method comprising:
- receiving a cardiac signal sensed over multiple cardiac cycles;
determining, using the received cardiac signal, a risk of impending cardiovascular insult by assessing an indicator of proarrhythmogenic substrate and a change in sympathovagal balance; and
administering, based on the determined risk, a therapy comprising acupuncture to modulate sympathovagal balance.

Abstract
In a method of providing therapy to a patient to prevent an occurrence of a dangerous cardiac event, a cardiac signal sensed over multiple cardiac cycles is received. A risk of impending cardiovascular insult is determined, using the received cardiac signal, by assessing an indicator of proarrhythmogenic substrate and a change in sympathovagal balance. A therapy comprising acupuncture to modulate sympathovagal balance is administered based on the determined risk.

23. A system for providing therapy to prevent an occurrence of a dangerous cardiac event, comprising:
-
a monitoring component that receives a cardiac signal sensed over multiple cardiac cycles; a processing component that determines, using the received cardiac signal, a risk of impending cardiovascular insult by assessing an indicator of proarrhythmogenic substrate and a change in sympathovagal balance; and a therapy component that administers, based on the determined risk a therapy comprising acupuncture to modulate sympathovagal balance.
