Abstract
Methods and systems for stimulating nerve fibers to treat a condition in a patient are disclosed herein. Such methods can include stimulating, via an electrode device, afferent fibers associated with baroreceptors and/or a carotid sinus nerve of a patient; sensing a heart rate of the patient; and adjusting a stimulation frequency of the afferent fibers based on the sensed heart rate. The heart rate can be indicative of an activity level of the patient, and an increase in the sensed heart rate can cause an increase in the stimulation frequency.
