Patent number: 11633600Abstract: A neurostimulation system comprises a sensor and a control system. The sensor is configured to detect a cardiac physiological measure of a patient. The control system is programmed to monitor, via the sensor, the cardiac physiological measure during the treatment. The control system is further programmed to detect a change in the cardiac physiological measure during the treatment. The control system is further programmed to determine, based on the detected change in the cardiac physiological measure, a first transition time in a duty cycle of a neurostimulation signal delivered to the patient where the neurostimulation signal transitions between a stimulation OFF period and a stimulation ON period.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2020Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: LivaNova USA, Inc.Inventors: Imad Libbus, Bruce KenKnight, Scott Stubbs, Scott Mazar
