Abstract:
1. A distributed cardiac pacing system comprising a first ultra miniature integrated cardiac pacemaker adapted to be placed in an atrial myocardium and a second ultra miniature integrated cardiac pacemaker adapted to be placed in a ventricular myocardium, wherein the first ultra miniature integrated cardiac pacemaker comprises: wherein the second ultra miniature integrated cardiac pacemaker comprises: wherein the first control unit generates the first control signal when intracardiac P wave information is not detected within a given time, and suppresses generation of the first control signal when intracardiac P wave information is detected within a given time; wherein the second control unit generates the second control signal when intracardiac QRS complex information is not detected within a given time after detection of intracardiac P wave information, and suppresses generation of the second control signal when intracardiac QRS complex information is detected within a given time after detection of intracardiac P wave information; and wherein when the second ultra miniature integrated cardiac pacemaker detects intracardiac QRS complex information due to spontaneous ventricular contraction, the first control unit suppresses detection of intracardiac P wave information for a given time interval.
