Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices that detect arrhythmic episodes and perform arrhythmia discrimination are described. Such a system includes a leadless pacemaker (LP) that senses a near-field electrogram (NF-EGM), and a non-vascular implantable cardioverter defibrillator (NV-ICD) that senses a far-field electrogram (FF-EGM). The LP determines cardiac activity information based on the NF-EGM and optionally also based on paced cardiac events caused by the LP. The LP monitors for specific pacemaker condition(s), sends i2i message(s) including the cardiac activity information to the NV-ICD when at least one of the specific pacemaker condition(s) is detected by the LP, and does not send i2i message(s) including the cardiac activity information to the NV-ICD when the LP detects none of the specific pacemaker condition(s) After the NV-ICD receives the i2i message(s) transmitted by the LP, the NV-ICD can detect an arrhythmic episode and/or perform arrhythmia discrimination based on the cardiac activity information included therein.
