A system for reducing proarrhythmic effects of neural stimulation is provided. One aspect of this disclosure relates to an implantable medical device (IMD) for reducing proarrhythmic effects of neural stimulation. The IMD includes a neural stimulator adapted to deliver an electrical signal through at least one electrode to provide vagal stimulation. The IMD also includes a controller adapted to receive atrial arrhythmia vulnerability data and to control a therapeutic stimulator to limit atrial proarrhythmia using the atrial arrhythmia vulnerability data. The controller is further adapted to receive atrial arrhythmic history data and to control a therapeutic stimulator to limit atrial proarrhythmia using the atrial arrhythmic history data, according to various embodiments. According to one embodiment, the therapeutic stimulator includes the neural stimulator. The therapeutic stimulator includes a cardiac stimulator adapted to provide cardiac rhythm management therapy, according to various embodiments. Other aspects and embodiments are provided herein.
