MITIGATING FALSE MESSAGES AND EFFECTS THEREOF IN MULTI-CHAMBER LEADLESS PACEMAKER SYSTEMS AND OTHER IMD SYSTEMS

摘要

Implantable medical devices (IMDs) described herein, and methods for use therewith described herein, reduce how often an IMD accepts a false message and/or reduce adverse effects of an IMD accepting a false message. Such IMDs can be leadless pacemakers (LPs), or implantable cardio defibrillators (ICDs), but are not limited thereto. Such embodiments can be used help multiple IMDs (e.g., multiple LPs) implanted within a same patient maintain synchronous operation, such as synchronous multi-chamber pacing.
