1. A method for delivering cardiac pacing therapy to a patient, comprising:
- delivering a primary cardiac pacing therapy associated with one or more primary pacing parameters, including a primary lower rate limit, and a sensor indicated pacing rate that is based on the primary lower rate limit;
transitioning to an alternate cardiac pacing therapy associated with one or more alternate pacing parameters, including an alternate lower rate limit, the transition based on a sleep/wake cycle of the patient; and
during delivery of the alternate cardiac pacing therapy, in response to the alternate lower rate limit being greater than the primary lower rate limit, resolving interactions between the primary pacing parameters of the primary pacing therapy and the alternate pacing parameters by selecting between pacing using the alternate pacing parameters and pacing using the sensor indicated rate which is based on the primary pacing parameters, the selecting based on a value of an alternate cardiac pacing parameter and a value of the sensor indicated rate.

Abstract
Methods and systems are directed to delivering cardiac pacing therapy to a patient. A pacing therapy associated with one or more pacing parameters is delivered. Alternate cardiac pacing therapies associated with one or more alternate pacing parameters are transitioned to, based on a sleep/wake cycle of the patient. Interactions between the pacing parameters of the pacing therapy and the alternate pacing parameters are resolved. Resolving pacing parameters may be based on analysis of lower rate limits and/or lower rate hysteresis.
