Exemplary methods for affecting conduction and/or operation of the AV node
and/or AV bundle. Various exemplary methods include delivery of one or
more stimulation pulses to affect conduction and/or operation of an AV
node and/or AV bundle. Such delivery optionally stimulates nerves and/or
tissue. Nerve stimulation optionally includes parasympathetic nerve
stimulation to decrease conduction of the AV node and/or AV bundle.
Tissue stimulation optionally causes tissue to enter a refractory period.
Various exemplary methods include delivering one or more stimulation
pulses during postinspiration. Other exemplary methods and/or devices are
also disclosed.
