Disclosed herein, among other things, is a system for electrical stimulation of blood vessels. An embodiment of the system includes at least one electrode having electrical contact with a blood vessel. The embodiment also includes a stimulation circuit electrically connected to the electrode, the circuit adapted to provide stimulation to the vessel. The embodiment further includes a controller connected to the circuit, the controller adapted to select frequency and voltage parameters for the stimulation circuit to selectively affect vascular therapy, including constriction of the vessel and dilation of the vessel. According to various embodiments, the stimulation circuit and controller are contained within an implantable medical device (IMD). The system also includes a sensor connected to the controller, and the controller initiates and adjusts therapy based on a signal received from the sensor, in varying embodiments.

Various aspects relate to a device. Various device embodiments include at least a first and a second transducer, and a controller. The first transducer is adapted to be positioned to direct a first energy wave toward a neural target, and the second transducer is adapted to be positioned to direct a second energy wave toward the neural target. The controller is connected to the transducers to generate the first energy wave with a first predetermined phase and a first predetermined amplitude from the first transducer and to generate the second energy wave with a second predetermined phase and a second predetermined amplitude from the second transducer. The amplitudes are selected so that a neural stimulation threshold is reached only during constructive wave interference. The phases are selected so that the first and second energy waves constructively interfere at the neural target. Other aspects and embodiments are provided herein.

An improved system for delivering external counterpulsation therapy is described. The system employs muscle stimulation transducers such as cutaneous electrodes in order to stimulate skeletal muscle and/or vascular smooth muscle in synchronization with the cardiac cycle in a manner that increases the fluid pressure within veins and/or arteries during cardiac diastole.
