Abstract:
1. A non-transitory medium readable by a microcontroller of an implantable stimulation device, containing instructions that when executed cause the implantable stimulation device to perform actions, including: detecting a sudden and sustained change in blood pressure; relating the change in blood pressure to vascular stimulation parameters for executing a vascular therapy; directly electrically stimulating a sympathetic nerve to achieve the vascular therapy using said vascular stimulation parameters; determining a cardiac response to the change in blood pressure based on said vascular stimulation parameters; correlating the cardiac response to cardiac stimulation parameters that can effectuate the cardiac response; electrically stimulating a heart to achieve the cardiac response using the cardiac stimulation parameters; detecting an effect of the stimulation of the sympathetic nerve and the heart; adjusting stimulation parameters for stimulating the sympathetic nerve and the heart based on the effect; and stimulating the sympathetic nerve and the heart using the adjusted stimulation parameters.
