Abstract
A leadless cardiac pacemaker configured for implantation in electrical contact with a left ventricular cardiac chamber and configured for leadless triggered left-ventricular pacing for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in response to conducted signals from a pulse generator.
Claims29
A cardiac pacing system comprising:
- a leadless cardiac pacemaker configured for implantation in electrical contact with a left ventricular cardiac chamber and performing leadless triggered left-ventricular pacing for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in response to conducted signals from a co-implanted pulse generator, the leadless cardiac pacemaker comprising a pacing pulse generator configured to generate pulses adapted to perform cardiac pacing and pulses encoding information for transmission as communication signals during a refractory period, the leadless cardiac pacemaker configured to receive communication directly from a non-implanted programmer.
A cardiac pacing system comprising:
- a leadless cardiac pacemaker configured for implantation in electrical contact with a cardiac chamber and configured for receiving and evaluating triggering information from a co-implanted pulse generator via an electrical signal conducted from an atrial or ventricular pacing pulse delivered by the co-implanted implanted pulse generator, the leadless cardiac pacemaker comprising a pacing pulse generator configured to generate pulses adapted to perform cardiac pacing and pulses encoding information for transmission as communication signals during a refractory period, the leadless cardiac pacemaker configured to receive communication directly from a non-implanted programmer.
