Neurostimulation Based On Glycemic Condition
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of neurostimulation, comprising:
- sensing cardiac activity;
generating intracardiac electrogram data based on the sensed cardiac activity;
identifying a glycemic condition based on the intracardiac electrogram data; and
stimulating at least one nerve based on the identified glycemic condition.

Abstract
A glycemic condition is indicated based on variance of a feature derived from cardiac electrogram data. Neurostimulation is then used to counteract a cardiac-related autonomic response to the glycemic condition. For example, stimulation of parasympathetic innervation may be used to counteract an autonomic sympathetic response that is associated with hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. In addition, stimulation of sympathetic innervation may be used to counteract an autonomic parasympathetic response that is associated with hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.

19. A stimulation apparatus, comprising:
-
a cardiac sensing circuit that senses cardiac signals; an electrogram processor that generates intracardiac electrogram data based on the sensed cardiac signals; a glycemia monitor that identifies a glycemic condition based on the intracardiac electrogram data; and a neurostimulation signal generator that generates at least one signal for stimulating at least one nerve based on the identified glycemic condition. - View Dependent Claims (20)
