ABSTRACT:
An exemplary method for stimulating an autonomic nerve that includes delivering power to, for example, an electrode at a set power level, determining whether the delivering achieved an autonomic response that affected cardiac function, and delivering power to the electrode at a reduced power level if the delivering affected the cardiac function. An exemplary device for performing such an exemplary method. Other exemplary methods and exemplary devices are also disclosed.
