摘要：
System and methods for programming and delivering electrical stimulation to treat hypertension are discussed. In various embodiments, an ambulatory stimulator system, such as an implantable medical device, can receive a power-saving command and deliver the electrical stimulation to a target site in a patient according to one or more simulation parameters including a therapy on-off pattern. In some embodiments, stimulation with therapy on-off pattern can reduce the power consumption while maintaining the anti-hypertension therapy efficacy. In some embodiments, the ambulatory stimulator system can include one or more of a physiologic response detector, a patient status detector, or a battery longevity detector. The power-saving command can be generated using one or more of the detected physiologic signal, the patient status, or the information about the battery longevity.
