Abstract
An implantable cardiac rhythm management medical device is configured to switch from a first operating mode to a second, ventricular assist device operating mode for detecting cardiac arrhythmias and controlling delivery of anti-arrhythmia therapy during the ventricular assist device operating mode. The implantable medical device may receive a command from another medical device indicating co-implantation of a ventricular assist device with the implantable medical device in a patient and switch from the first mode of operating to the second mode of operating in response to receiving the command. Switching from the first mode to the second mode may include adjusting at least one control parameter used for controlling an electrical stimulation therapy deliverable by the implantable cardiac rhythm management medical device.
