摘要
A method of providing cardiac stimulation therapy and a device for providing the therapy. A patient's cardiac activity as well as cyclical respiration is monitored. Cardiac stimulation is provided as indicated as therapeutic intervention for a variety of cardiac arrhythmias according to variable timing parameters. One or more of the timing parameters under which cardiac pacing stimulations are provided is varied or modulated with the cyclical variations in respiration. The one or more timing parameters are generally shortened or elongated in concert with the alternating inspiration/exhalation phases of respiration. In certain implementations, the patient's respiration is inferred from cardiac based physiologic signals. The methods and devices for providing cardiac stimulation therapy more accurately emulate natural healthy physiologic activity.
