Abstract
An aspect of the present subject matter relates to a system for providing baroreflex stimulation. An embodiment of the system comprises an adverse event detector to sense an adverse event and provide a signal indicative of the adverse event, and a baroreflex stimulator. The stimulator includes a pulse generator to provide a baroreflex stimulation signal adapted to provide a baroreflex therapy, and a modulator to receive the signal indicative of the adverse event and modulate the baroreflex stimulation signal based on the signal indicative of the adverse event to change the baroreflex therapy from a first baroreflex therapy to a second baroreflex therapy. Other aspects are provided herein.
Claims22
A system for providing baroreflex stimulation, comprising:
- an adverse event detector to sense a predetermined adverse event and provide a signal indicative of the adverse event;
- and
- a baroreflex stimulator, including:
- a pulse generator to provide a baroreflex stimulation signal for baroreflex therapy;
- and
- a modulator to receive the signal indicative of the adverse event and to modulate the baroreflex stimulation signal based on the signal indicative of the adverse event, wherein the pulse generator and modulator are configured to cooperate to adjust blood pressure for the adverse event by providing a first baroreflex therapy when the adverse event is not detected and providing and a second baroreflex therapy when the adverse event is detected, wherein the baroreflex stimulation signal for the first baroreflex therapy is different than the baroreflex therapy for the second baroreflex therapy.
A system for providing baroreflex stimulation, comprising:
- an adverse event detector configured to use an event detection algorithm to detect a predetermined adverse cardiac event and configured to provide a signal indicative of the adverse cardiac event;
- and
- a baroreflex stimulator, including:
- a pulse generator to provide a baroreflex stimulation signal for baroreflex therapy;
- and
- a modulator to receive the signal indicative of the adverse cardiac event and to modulate the baroreflex stimulation signal based on the signal indicative of the adverse event, wherein the pulse generator and modulator are configured to cooperate to adjust blood pressure for the adverse event by providing a first baroreflex therapy when the adverse cardiac event is not detected and providing and a second baroreflex therapy when the adverse cardiac event is detected, wherein the baroreflex stimulation signal for the first baroreflex therapy is different than the baroreflex therapy for the second baroreflex therapy.
A system for providing baroreflex stimulation, comprising:
- an adverse event detector configured to use an event detection algorithm to detect a stroke and configured to provide a signal indicative of the stroke;
- and
- a baroreflex stimulator, including:
- a pulse generator to provide a baroreflex stimulation signal for baroreflex therapy;
- and
- a modulator to receive the signal indicative of the stroke and to modulate the baroreflex stimulation signal based on the signal indicative of the stroke, wherein the pulse generator and modulator are configured to cooperate to adjust blood pressure for the stroke by providing a first baroreflex therapy when the stroke is not detected and providing and a second baroreflex therapy when the stroke is detected, wherein the baroreflex stimulation signal for the first baroreflex therapy is different than the baroreflex therapy for the second baroreflex therapy.
