Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing rate responsive pacing therapy to a heart of a patient. One example method for providing rate responsive pacing therapy includes sensing cardiac electrical data with a leadless cardiac pacemaker (LCP) that is implanted within or proximate the heart. From this location, the LCP may provide pacing therapy to the heart based at least in part on the sensed cardiac electrical data. An implantable medical device located remotely from the heart may sense patient activity, and may wirelessly communicate patient activity data from the implantable medical device to the LCP, sometimes using conducted communication. The LCP may be then determine an adjustment to the provided pacing therapy (e.g. adjust the pacing rate) based at least in part on the received patient activity data signal.

Claim (Index 18):
An implantable medical device system for providing adjustable rate pacing therapy to a heart of a patient, the system comprising:\n a leadless cardiac pacemaker (LCP) implantable within and directly coupled to a wall of the heart of the patient such that the LCP moves with the wall of the heart of the patient; an implantable medical device that is free from a housing and a securement that are configured for transvenous delivery and securement of the implantable medical device directly to an internal wall of the heart of the patient, but rather is configured to be implantable at a location remote from and not directly coupled to the heart of the patient, wherein the implantable medical device comprises an accelerometer; wherein the implantable medical device is configured to generate patient activity data based at least in part on an output of the accelerometer, and is further configured to wirelessly communicate the patient activity data to the LCP; and wherein the LCP is configured to:\n provide rate responsive pacing therapy to the heart of the patient; and \n adjust a rate of the rate responsive pacing therapy based at least in part on the patient activity data received from the implantable medical device.
