Abstract: An example of a method embodiment may include receiving a user programmable neural stimulation (NS) dose for an intermittent neural stimulation (INS) therapy, and delivering the INS therapy with the user programmable NS dose to an autonomic neural target of a patient. Delivering the INS therapy may include delivering NS bursts, and delivering the NS bursts may include delivering a number of NS pulses per cardiac cycle during a portion of the cardiac cycles and not delivering NS pulses during a remaining portion of the cardiac cycles. The method may further include sensing cardiac events within the cardiac cycles, and controlling delivery of the user programmable NS dose of INS therapy using the sensed cardiac events to time delivery of the number of NS pulses per cardiac cycle to provide the user programmable NS dose. The user programmable NS dose may determine the number of NS pulses per cardiac cycle.

Abstract: A neurostimulation system provides for capture verification and stimulation intensity adjustment to ensure effectiveness of vagus nerve stimulation in modulating one or more target functions in a patient. In various embodiments, stimulation is applied to the vagus nerve, and evoked responses are detected to verify that the stimulation captures the vagus nerve and to adjust one or more stimulation parameters that control the stimulation intensity.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing machine-generated medical events detected from one or more patients are described herein. A medical event management system includes an event analyzer circuit to detect a medical event using physiological data from a patient-triggered episode acquired from a medical device. The event analyzer circuit determines a confidence score of the medical event detection, and generates an alignment indicator indicating a degree of concordance between the detected medical event and the information about the patient-triggered episode. The system assigns priority information to the patient-triggered episode using the generated alignment indicator and the confidence score of the detection. An output circuit can output the received physiological information to a user or a process according to the assigned priority information.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically controlling HBP delivery based on patient AV conduction status are disclosed. An exemplary medical system includes an electrostimulation circuit to generate HBP pulses to stimulate a His bundle or a bundle branch of the heart. An AV conduction monitor circuit continuously or periodically assesses AV conduction status, and detects an indication of presence or absence of AV conduction abnormality. If an AV conduction abnormality is indicated, a control circuit may control the electrostimulation circuit to deliver the HBP pulses. Ventricular backup pacing may be delivered if HBP fails to capture and elicit ventricular activation. When the AV conduction become normal, the control circuit may withhold HBP delivery and promote patient intrinsic ventricular activation.

Abstract: A neurostimulation system delivers neurostimulation to a patient using one or more primary parameters and one or more secondary parameters. The one or more primary parameters are controlled for maintaining efficacy of the neurostimulation. The one or more secondary parameters are adjusted for preventing the patient from developing neural accommodation. In various embodiments, values for the one or more secondary parameters are varied during the delivery of the neurostimulation for prevention of neural accommodation that may result from a constant or periodic pattern of stimulation pulses.

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring and treating patients with heart failure (HF) are discussed. The system may sense cardiac signals, and receives information about patient physiological or functional conditions. A stimulation parameter table that includes recommended values of atrioventricular delay (AVD) or other timing parameters maybe created at a multitude of patient physiological or functional conditions. The system may periodically reassess patient physiological or functional conditions. A therapy programmer circuit may dynamically switch between left ventricular-only pacing and biventricular pacing, or switch between single site pacing and multisite pacing based on the patient condition. The therapy programmer circuit may adjust AVD and other timing parameters using the cardiac signal input and the stored stimulation parameter table. A HF therapy may be delivered according to the determined stimulation site, stimulation mode, and the stimulation timing.

Abstract: Systems and methods for auditing an operation of an ambulatory medical device (AMD) are described. A system may include an auditor device and an analyzer circuit communicatively coupled to each other. The auditor device can sense from the patient, independently of and during the operation of the AMD, information about the operation of the AMD including sensed electrostimulation and a physiological signal in response to the electrostimulation. The analyzer unit may generate a device audit indicator indicating the functionality and performance of the AMD using the sensed physiological signal and the sensed AMD operation information. The system may output the device audit indicator to a user or a process, or to program device therapy for the AMD based on the device audit indicator.
