An implantable medical device (IMD) with a receiver having a higher power mode and a lower power mode. In the higher power mode, the receiver can receive a communication from an external device and pass the received communication to a controller, and in the lower power mode the receiver may not receive the communication from the external device and pass the received communication to the controller. In some cases, the IMD may include a physiological sensor providing an output to the controller, and the controller may control whether the receiver is in the higher power mode or the lower power mode based at least in part on the output of the physiological sensor.

Implantable medical device with multiple modes of operation

A subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) comprising shocking electrodes configured to reduce the defibrillation threshold. The S-ICD may include a canister housing a source of electrical energy, a capacitor, and operational circuitry that senses heart rhythms and an electrode and lead assembly. The electrode and lead assembly may comprise a lead, at least one sensing electrode, and at least one shocking electrode. The at least one shocking electrode may extend over a length in the range of 50 to 110 millimeters and a width in the range of 1 to 40 millimeters.
