Abstract
An intracardiac ventricular pacemaker includes a pulse generator for delivering ventricular pacing pulses, an impedance sensing circuit, and a control circuit in communication with the pulse generator and the impedance sensing circuit. The pacemaker is configured to produce an intraventricular impedance signal, detect an atrial systolic event using the intraventricular impedance signal, set an atrioventricular pacing interval in response to detecting the atrial systolic event, and deliver a ventricular pacing pulse in response to the atrioventricular pacing interval expiring.
