HYPERTENSION THERAPY DEVICE WITH LONGEVITY MANAGEMENT

摘要

System and methods for programming and delivering electrical stimulation to treat hypertension are discussed. In various embodiments, an ambulatory stimulator system, such as an implantable medical device, can receive a power-saving command and deliver the electrical stimulation to a target site in a patient according to one or more simulation parameters including a therapy on-off pattern. In some embodiments, stimulation with therapy on-off pattern can reduce the power consumption while maintaining the anti-hypertension therapy efficacy. In some embodiments, the ambulatory stimulator system can include one or more of a physiologic response detector, a patient status detector, or a battery longevity detector. The power-saving command can be generated using one or more of the detected physiologic signal, the patient status, or the information about the battery longevity.
