ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems involve adjusting cardiac pacing based on information acquired via a respiratory therapy device. A medical system includes a respiratory therapy device having one or more sensors and a therapy delivery unit. The one or more sensors are configured to sense respiration cycles. The therapy delivery unit is configured to deliver an external respiratory therapy to the patient. The medical system also includes a pulse generator configured to deliver cardiac pacing pulses to the patient. A controller is coupled to the one or more sensors and the pulse generator. The control unit configured to adjust a cardiac pacing rate based on the patient's respiration cycles.
