Patent ID: 8649859

Claim:
A modular implantable system comprising: an implantable first circuit module including: a defibrillation shock circuit configured to deliver a defibrillation shock; and a first controller circuit configured to control the delivery of the defibrillation shock; an implantable second circuit module, physically separate from the first circuit module, the implantable second circuit module including: an antitachyarrhythmia pacing (ATP) therapy circuit configured to deliver ATP therapy; and a second controller circuit configured to control delivery of the defibrillation and ATP therapy; and a first sensing circuit, physically separate from the first circuit module and the second circuit module, the first sensing circuit including a sensor configured to sense a physiologic parameter and a wireless transmitter circuit to send a wireless communication to the first controller circuit and the second controller circuit, and wherein the first sensing circuit is shaped and configured to be implanted within at least one of the heart and the vasculature.
