1. A system, comprising:
- circuitry adapted to determine when an arrhythmia has terminated; and
a neural stimulator adapted to respond to termination of the arrhythmia by initiating a programmed neural stimulation therapy, wherein the programmed neural stimulation therapy has a programmed duration and is programmed to deliver a plurality of neural stimulation pulses, and wherein the programmed neural stimulation therapy is a programmed response to the termination of the arrhythmia to assist with recovering from the arrhythmia.
