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 13):
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, wherein the LCP is configured to:\n sense cardiac electrical data; \n provide pacing therapy to the heart of the patient based at least in part on the sensed cardiac electrical data, the pacing therapy including a pacing rate; \n a remote device including an accelerometer, the remote device is free from a securement configured for transvenous delivery and securement of the remote device directly to an internal wall of the heart of the patient, the remote device is configured to:\n sensing patient activity of the patient from a location remote from the heart of the patient using the accelerometer of the remote device; \n determining a patient activity data signal based at least in part upon the patient activity sensed by the accelerometer; \n wirelessly communicating the patient activity data signal from the remote device to the LCP; and \n wherein the LCP is configured to adjusting the pacing rate of the provided pacing therapy based at least in part on the received patient activity data signal.
