Patent ID: 8321022

Claim:
An automated method for providing therapy to a patient, comprising: detecting, via detector system, patient conditions that include disordered breathing; delivering a cardiac electrical therapy via a therapy control system to mitigate the disordered breathing; detecting an interaction between a therapy to treat a cardiac disorder and the cardiac electrical therapy to mitigate the disordered breathing; assessing an efficacy of the cardiac electrical therapy via the therapy control system based on one or more first conditions of the detected patient conditions; assessing a negative impact of the cardiac electrical therapy on a patient via the therapy control system based on one or more second conditions of the detected patient conditions, the one or more first conditions differing from the one or more second conditions at least in part; adapting the cardiac electrical therapy via the therapy control system to a) promote the therapy efficacy, and b) reduce the negative impact of the therapy on the patient; and delivering the adapted cardiac electrical therapy to the patient, wherein at least one of detecting, adapting, and delivering is performed at least in part implantably.
