Abstract
An approach to providing disordered breathing therapy involves the use of a plurality of therapy devices to deliver a coordinated disordered breathing therapy regimen to the patient. The plurality of disordered breathing devices includes at least a therapy device that delivers an electrical stimulation therapy modulating a patient's baroreflex response. Other therapy devices may include a cardiac electrical stimulation device, an external respiratory therapy device, and/or other therapy devices used in the treatment of disordered breathing. A therapy controller coordinates the therapies delivered by the plurality of therapy devices.
