Abstract
A computing device may be communicably coupled to a first pacemaker implanted in a heart of a patient and a second pacemaker implanted in the heart of the patient. The computing device may receive, from the first pacemaker, first race responsive pacing data, and may receive, from the second pacemaker, second rate responsive pacing data. The computing device may synchronize, based at least in part on the first rate responsive pacing data and the second rate responsive pacing data, rate responsive pacing of the first pacemaker and the second pacemaker.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by processing circuitry of a computing device and from a first pacemaker implanted in a heart of a patient, first rate responsive pacing data;
- receiving, by the processing circuitry and from a second pacemaker implanted in the heart of the patient, second rate responsive pacing data;
- and
- synchronizing, by the processing circuitry and based at least in part on the first rate responsive pacing data and the second rate responsive pacing data, rate responsive pacing of the first pacemaker and the second pacemaker.
A medical device comprising:
- memory;
- and
- processing circuitry operably coupled to the memory and configured to:
- receive, from a first pacemaker implanted in a heart of a patient, first rate responsive pacing data;
- receive, from a second pacemaker implanted in the heart of the patient, second rate responsive pacing data;
- and
- synchronize, based at least in part on the first rate responsive pacing data and the second rate responsive pacing data, rate responsive pacing of the first pacemaker and the second pacemaker.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry of a medical device, cause the medical device to:
- receive, from a first pacemaker implanted in a heart of a patient, first rate responsive pacing data;
- receive, from a second pacemaker implanted in the heart of the patient, second rate responsive pacing data;
- and
- synchronize, based at least in part on the first rate responsive pacing data and the second rate responsive pacing data, rate responsive pacing of the first pacemaker and the second pacemaker.
