Patent abstract
Heart rate information is used at least in part to obtain one or more parameters for inducing respiration. In various implementations, respiratory parameters, such as a target breathing rate or a target tidal volume may be delivered by an implantable device to a patient during periods of altered respiration, such as sleep apnea or exercise. A respiratory parameter may also be obtained from a physiological variable, a patient's physical activity level, or metabolic demands.
