Claim Text:
1. An implantable device, comprising: a tachyarrhythmia detector configured to detect a shockable tachyarrhythmia; a shock pulse generator configured to deliver a defibrillating shock in response to a detected shockable tachyarrhythmia; and a neural stimulator connected to at least one neural stimulation lead with at least one neural stimulation electrode, the neural stimulator, the at least one neural stimulation lead and the at least one neural stimulation electrode are configured to deliver electrical stimulation to at least one fat pad to modulate autonomic tone, wherein the at least one neural stimulation lead includes: wherein the first lead is configured to selectively stimulate the SVC-AO cardiac fat pad to change ventricular contractility without changing heart rate or inducing an arrhythmia.
