Abstract
An implantable electronic neuromodulation system includes an implantable pulse generator comprising a controller and a memory. The memory is configured to store an emulated neurosensory signal representative of nerve traffic acquired from a patient equipped with an extra-aortic balloon pump counter-pulsation system or an intra-aortic balloon pump counter-pulsation system. A lead is coupled to the implantable pulse generator. At least one electrode is coupled to the lead. The at least one electrode is positionable in contact with or adjacent to at least one nerve that carries sensory information from baroreceptors. The controller is configured to stimulate the at least one nerve using the emulated neurosensory signal.
