Abstract
Example devices and techniques are disclosed for delivering neurostimulation therapy transesophageally. An example device includes stimulation circuitry configured to generate a transesophageal stimulation signal. The example device includes memory configured to store stimulation parameters that at least partially define the transesophageal stimulation signal and processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the memory, and the stimulation circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to determine a maximum transesophageal stimulation amplitude value. The processing circuitry is configured to control the stimulation circuitry to generate the transesophageal stimulation signal based at least in part on at least one of the stimulation parameters or the maximum transesophageal stimulation amplitude such that an amplitude of the transesophageal stimulation signal does not exceed the maximum transesophageal stimulation amplitude.
