SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO REDUCE SYNCOPE RISK DURING NEURAL STIMULATION THERAPY
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system, comprising:
- a posture change detector configured to detect a posture transition indicative of an increased risk of syncope; and
a neural stimulator configured to deliver a neural stimulation therapy, the neural stimulator including a syncope avoidance module configured to respond to a detected posture transition by temporarily overriding the neural stimulation therapy to ameliorate the risk of increased syncope.

Abstract
Some embodiments, by way of example, provide a system, comprising a posture change detector configured to detect a posture transition indicative of an increased risk of syncope, and a neural stimulator configured to deliver a neural stimulation therapy. The neural stimulator may include a syncope avoidance module configured to respond to a detected posture transition by temporarily overriding the neural stimulation therapy to ameliorate the risk of increased syncope.
