ABSTRACT:
An exemplary method for treating sleep apnea is described that includes determining parameters for a cardiac pacing pulse based, at least in part, on information characteristic of sleep apnea, wherein the cardiac pacing pulse aims to create a hemodynamic imbalance. An exemplary implantable cardiac device is programmable to perform such an exemplary method. Other exemplary methods, devices, and/or media are also disclosed.
