Systems and methods for customizable titration of an implantable neurostimulator are provided. A method of titrating a neurostimulation signal delivered to a patient from an implantable pulse generator includes delivering a first neurostimulation signal with a first set of parameters, increasing a first value of the first neurostimulation signal at a first rate for a first period of time while delivering the first neurostimulation signal, ceasing delivery of the first neurostimulation signal when the first value reaches a first target value, delivering a second neurostimulation signal with a second set of parameters, and increasing the second neurostimulation signal at a second rate for a second period of time while delivering the second neurostimulation signal.

Customizable titration for an implantable neurostimulator

Systems and methods are provided for delivering vagus nerve stimulation and carotid baroreceptor stimulation to patients for treating chronic heart failure and hypertension. The vagus nerve stimulation and carotid baroreceptor stimulation therapies may be provided using a single implantable pulse generator, which can coordinate delivery of the therapies.

Vagus nerve and carotid baroreceptor stimulation system

An implantable system includes a housing configured for subcutaneous, non-intrathoracic placement in a patient, and a plurality of electrodes coupled to the housing, each of the plurality of electrodes configured for subcutaneous, non-intrathoracic placement in the patient. Detection circuitry is provided in the housing and coupled to the plurality of electrodes. The detection circuitry is configured to detect cardiac activity necessitating a cardiac stimulation therapy. Energy delivery circuitry is provided in the housing and coupled to the plurality of electrodes. The energy delivery circuitry is configured to deliver the cardiac stimulation therapy.
