Abstract
A system embodiment comprises a neural stimulator having a housing with an electrode on the housing and having a neural stimulation lead with an electrode on the neural stimulation lead. The neural stimulator is configured to deliver a neural stimulation therapy through the neural stimulation lead and remotely sense a heart rate using the electrode on the neural stimulation lead and the electrode on the housing of the neural stimulator.
