An approach to providing disordered breathing therapy includes sensing conditions affecting the patient and adapting a therapy to mitigate the disordered breathing based on the sensed conditions. The therapy may be adapted to enhance therapy effectiveness, to provide therapy that reduces an impact of the therapy on the patient, or to achieve other therapeutic goals. Cardiac electrical therapy to mitigate the disordered breathing may include various cardiac pacing regimens and/or delivery of non-excitatory electrical stimulation to the heart. |
