    Abstract: An intracardiac ventricular pacemaker having a motion sensor is configured to produce a motion signal including an atrial systolic event and a ventricular diastolic event indicating a passive ventricular filling phase, set a detection threshold to a first amplitude during an expected time interval of the ventricular diastolic event and to a second amplitude lower than the first amplitude after an expected time interval of the ventricular diastolic event. The pacemaker is configured to detect the atrial systolic event in response to the motion signal crossing the detection threshold and set an atrioventricular pacing interval in response to detecting the atrial systolic event.

    Abstract: An intracardiac pacemaker system is configured to produce physiological atrial event signals by a sensing circuit of a ventricular intracardiac pacemaker and select a first atrial event input as the physiological atrial event signals. The ventricular intracardiac pacemaker detects atrial events from the selected first atrial event input, determines if input switching criteria are met, and switches from the first atrial event input to a second atrial event input in response to the input switching criteria being met. The second atrial event input includes broadcast atrial event signals produced by a second implantable medical device and received by the ventricular intracardiac pacemaker.

    Abstract: In some examples, a leadless pacing device (hereinafter, “LPD”) is configured for implantation in a ventricle of a heart of a patient, and is configured to switch between an atrio-ventricular synchronous pacing mode and an asynchronous ventricular pacing mode in response to detection of one or more sensing events, which may be, for example, undersensing events. In some examples, an LPD is configured to switch from a sensing without pacing mode to an atrio-ventricular synchronous pacing mode in response to determining, for a threshold number of cardiac cycles, a ventricular depolarization was not detected within a ventricular event detection window that begins at an atrial activation event.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining stability of a patient's intrinsic rhythm in a cardiac pacing device. Cardiac pacing pulses are delivering to a chamber of a patient's heart by the pacing device at a first pulse amplitude. The device measures a first series of intervals between successive sensed and paced events. The device then determines whether the first measured series of intervals meets a stability criterion. Responsive to the first measured series of intervals failing to meet the stability criterion, the device determines whether the first measured series of intervals includes an interval between a delivered pacing pulse and a sensed event that is less than a defined duration. Responsive to the interval between a delivered pacing pulse and a sensed event being less than the defined duration, the device delivers cardiac pacing pulses to the chamber of a patient's heart at a second pulse amplitude and measures a second series of intervals between successive sensed and paced events and determines whether the second measured series of intervals meets the stability criterion.

    Abstract: According to some methods, for example, preprogrammed in a microprocessor element of an implantable cardiac pacing system, at least one of a number of periodic pacing threshold searches includes steps to reduce an evoked response amplitude threshold for evoked response signal detection. The reduction may be to a minimum value measurable above zero, for example, as determined by establishing a ‘noise floor’. Alternately, amplitudes of test pacing pulses and corresponding post pulse signals are collected and reviewed to search for a break, to determine a lower value to which the evoked response threshold may be adjusted without detecting noise. Subsequent to reducing the threshold, if no evoked response signal is detected for a test pulse applied at or above a predetermined maximum desirable pulse energy, an operational pacing pulse energy is set to greater than or equal to the maximum desirable in conjunction with a reduction in pacing rate.
