Embodiment Construction

[0058] The following description should be read with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like elements are numbered likewise in different drawings. The specification and drawings, which are not necessarily to scale, depict illustrative embodiments and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

[0059] A normal healthy heart causes contractions by conducting intrinsically generated electrical signals throughout the heart. These intrinsic signals cause the heart's tissue or muscle cells to contract. This contraction forces blood out of and into the heart, providing circulation of blood throughout the rest of the body. However, many patients suffer from this contractile cardiac condition affecting their heart. Some hearts may, for example, develop diseased tissue that no longer generates or conducts intrinsic electrical signals. In some instances, diseased heart tissue transmits electrical signals at different rates, thus causing asynchrony an...

Abstract

Power saving communication techniques for communicating in a medical device system. One example medical device system may be for delivering electrical stimulation therapy to a heart of a patient, and may include a first implantable medical device implanted in a first chamber of the heart and configured to determine one or more parameters, a medical device physically spaced from and communicatively coupled to the first implantable medical device, the medical device configured to deliver electrical stimulation therapy to the heart of the patient, wherein the first implantable medical device is further configured to: compare a value of a first determined parameter to a first threshold; if the value of the first determined parameter passed the first threshold, communicate a first indication to the medical device; and if the value of the first determined parameter has not passed the first threshold, not communicating the first indication to the medical device.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 to U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 023,585, filed July 11, 2014, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to systems, devices, and methods for transmitting information, and more particularly, to systems, devices, and methods for transmitting information between medical devices in a power-efficient manner. Background technique [0004] Pacing devices may be used to treat patients suffering from various heart conditions that may result in a reduced ability of the heart to deliver adequate volumes of blood to the patient's body. These heart conditions may result in rapid, irregular and / or inadequate heart contractions. To help alleviate some of these conditions, various devices (eg, pacemakers, defibrillators, etc.) can be implanted in the patient's body. ...
