Abstract
A stimulation control unit that outputs a stimulation signal for reducing a myocardial workload to an electrode for stimulation inserted in a blood vessel running in the vicinity of the vagus nerve of a patient in order to stimulate the vagus nerve; a detecting unit that detects first biological information and second biological information of the patient; a setting unit that sets threshold information for determining a normal range of the first biological information and second biological information; and a determining unit that determines whether or not values of the detected first biological information and second biological information are within the normal range determined in the threshold information; where the stimulation control unit adjusts the intensity of the stimulation signal such that the values of the first biological information and second biological information are within the normal range, and the value of the second biological information is reduced by a predetermined ratio or more as compared to a value before the stimulation.
