Abstract:
A system for evaluating an efficacy of vagus nerve stimulation is provided, wherein the system has a neurostimulator that is configured to perform vagus nerve stimulation, and a measuring component for evaluating the efficacy based on at least one parameter that is indicative of a myocardial contractile state of the heart. A corresponding method is also provided.

Claim (Index 6):
The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the system is configured to repeatedly determine the parameter during vagus nerve stimulation and in an absence of vagus nerve stimulation and to compare a parameter obtained during vagus nerve stimulation with a parameter obtained in the absence of vagus nerve stimulation for evaluating an efficacy, wherein the comparison is performed by evaluating the parameter with respect to: a reference value, an upper and lower limit, a statistical moment, one or more direct or derived value from the same sensor at another time in the heart cycle, a direct or derived value from another sensor or sensors, or a state of a therapy device.
