Abstract
Implantable medical devices such as leadless cardiac pacemakers may be configured to communicate using more than one mode of communication. For example, in some cases, an implantable medical device may be configured to communicate via conducted communication in some circumstances and to communicate via inductive communication in other circumstances. In some cases, the implantable medical device may be configured to switch between communication modes in order to improve communication.
