    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a stimulus circuit, a recharge circuit, a switch circuit, and a control circuit. The stimulus circuit provides electrical cardiac pacing stimulation to multiple combinations of a plurality of electrodes, and the electrical stimulation is selectively applied at the first electrode of the electrode combinations. The recharge circuit includes a recharge capacitor electrically coupled to the second electrode of the electrode combinations, and the switch circuit selectively enables electrode combinations for electrical coupling to the stimulus circuit and the recharge circuit. The control circuit includes a pacing activation sub-circuit that selectively initiates delivery of the electrical stimulation using multiple electrode combinations, and enables simultaneous delivery of pacing recharge energy from the recharge capacitor to the second electrode of multiple electrode combinations.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein, among other things, are methods and apparatus related to identification of apnea type. One aspect of the present subject matter provides a method for real-time apnea discrimination. The method includes sensing an impedance-based tidal volume signal to monitor a respiratory cycle of a patient, and detecting a reduction in tidal swing using the sensed impendence to detect an apnea event. When the apnea event is detected, a shape of the sensed signal is compared to a stored signal shape to determine whether the apnea event is primarily an obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) event or primarily a central sleep apnea (CSA) event, in various embodiments.
