1. A method for implanting a neural stimulator, comprising:

  • implanting a neural stimulation lead;

    delivering neural stimulation through the neural stimulation lead to an autonomic neural target; and

    verifying neural stimulation capture of the autonomic neural target, wherein verifying capture includes measuring heart rate turbulence (HRT) and using the measured HRT to determine if the neural stimulation is capturing the autonomic neural target.
