More Information
Summary:An example of a system for modulating blood pressure may include a blood pressure monitoring circuit, a blood pressure modulation device, and a control circuit. The blood pressure monitoring circuit may be configured to sense signals and generate one or more blood pressure parameters indicative of the blood pressure and/or a vascular resistance and one or more activity parameters indicative of an activity level and/or a postural change using the sensed signals. The blood pressure modulation device may be configured to deliver a therapy modulating the blood pressure. The control circuit may be configured to control the therapy using therapy parameters, receive the one or more blood pressure parameters and the one or more activity parameters, analyze changes in the one or more blood pressure parameters that are correlated to changes in the one or more activity parameters, and adjust the therapy parameters using an outcome of the analysis.
