DUAL CHAMBER PACING WITHOUT BEAT-TO-BEAT COMMUNICATION

摘要

A ventricular implantable medical device that is configured to detect an atrial timing fiducial from the ventricle. The ventricular implantable medical is configured to deliver a ventricular pacing therapy to the ventricle based on the detected atrial timing fiducial. If the ventricular implantable medical device temporarily fails to detect atrial activity because of noise, posture, patient activity or for any other reason, an atrial implantable medical device may be configured to communicate atrial events to the ventricular implantable medical device and the ventricular implantable medical device may synchronize the ventricular pacing therapy with the atrium activity based on those communications.
