Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for delivering neurostimulation therapies to patients for treating chronic heart failure. A computer-implemented control system is operated to automatically identify a neural fulcrum zone based on a monitored patient physiological response. Ongoing neurostimulation therapy is delivered within the neural fulcrum zone.

Claim (Index 20):
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions executable by a processor to:\n activate a neurostimulator of an implantable medical device (IMD) to deliver to a patient a plurality of stimulation signals at a first frequency, each stimulation signal having at least one parameter setting different than the parameter settings of the other stimulation signals in the plurality of stimulation signals and each stimulation signal comprising an ON time and an OFF time; monitor a heart rate of the patient during delivery of the plurality of stimulation signals, wherein monitoring the heart rate comprises monitoring a baseline heart rate during the OFF time periods of each stimulation signal and monitoring a heart rate response during the ON time periods of each stimulation signal, the heart rate response comprising a percentage change from the baseline heart rate; compare the percentage change of the heart rate response for each of the plurality of stimulation signals to a first threshold and a second threshold less than the first threshold; and deliver stimulation comprising one or more stimulation signals from the plurality of stimulation signals causing a percentage change of the heart rate response between the first and second thresholds.
