摘要：Apparatus is provided including an implantable sensor, adapted to sense anelectrical parameter of a heart of a subject, and a first control unit, adapted to apply

pulses to the heart responsively to the sensed parameter, the pulses selected from thelist consisting of: pacing pulses and anti-arrhythmic energy. The apparatus furtherincludes an electrode device, adapted to be coupled to a site of the subject selectedfrom the list consisting of: a vagus nerve of the subject, an epicardial fat pad of thesubject, a pulmonary vein of the subject, a carotid artery of the subject, a carotid sinus ofthe subject, a coronary sinus of the subject, a vena cava vein of the subject, a rightventricle of the subject, and a jugular vein of the subject; and a second control unit,adapted to drive the electrode device to apply to the site a current that increasesparasympathetic tone of the subject and affects a heart rate of the subject. The first andsecond control units are not under common control. At least one of the control units isadapted to coordinate an aspect of its operation with an aspect of operation of the othercontrol unit. Other embodiments are also described.
