SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATING CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS

Systems and methods for coordinating treatment of abnormal heart activity using multiple implanted devices within a patient. In one example, a leadless cardiac pacemaker (LCP) may receive signals related to one or more physiological conditions of a patient, wherein the LCP may be configured to deliv...

Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods for coordinating treatment of abnormal heart activity using multiple implanted devices within a patient. In one example, a leadless cardiac pacemaker (LCP) may receive signals related to one or more physiological conditions of a patient, wherein the LCP may be configured to deliver ATP therapy to a heart. The LCP may also be configured, based at least in part on the received signals, to detect an arrhythmia. In response to detecting an arrhythmia, the LCP may determine whether to deliver ATP therapy to the heart. If the LCP determines to deliver ATP therapy, the LCP may deliver ATP therapy to the heart.
