Abstract:
1. A method comprising: administering one or more treatments to a patient to change the patient's arterial blood pressure; acquiring at least one electroneurogram of at least a first carotid sinus nerve activity; analyzing the at least one electroneurogram to determine a relationship between said patient's arterial blood pressure and said patient's carotid sinus nerve activity, wherein determining the relationship comprises filtering the at least one electroneurogram to determine one or more neurons or regions of neurons of the carotid sinus nerve carrying information associated with arterial blood pressure; and sensing a second carotid sinus nerve activity and using the second carotid sinus nerve activity and the determined relationship between carotid sinus nerve activity and arterial blood pressure to control delivery of a therapy to treat a cardiopulmonary disorder and/or a respiratory disorder.
