Zusammenfassung:A leadless pacemaker (102) for pacing a heart (104) of a human includes a hermetic housing (110) and at least two electrodes (108) on or near the hermetic housing (110). The leadless pacemaker (102) also comprises a first pulse generator (116) configured to pace through the at least two electrodes (108) and a second pulse generator (776) configured to deliver communication pulses through the at least two electrodes (108) to an external device (106, 1104, 1204). The second pulse generator (776) is configured to generate different pulses at different amplitudes from the first pulse generator (112).
