1. A leadless cardiac pacemaker (LCP) comprising:

  • a housing;

    a plurality of electrodes for sensing electrical signals emanating from outside of the housing;

    an energy storage module disposed within the housing;

    a control module disposed within the housing and operatively coupled to the plurality of electrodes, wherein the control module is configured to;

    receive electrical signals via two or more of the plurality of electrodes;

    determine whether the received electrical signals are indicative of a command for the LCP to deliver anti-tachyarrhythmia pacing (ATP) therapy;

    when the received electrical signals are indicative of a command for the LCP to deliver anti-tachyarrhythmia pacing (ATP) therapy, determine whether a triggered ATP therapy mode of the LCP is enabled;

    when the received electrical signals are indicative of a command for the LCP to deliver ATP therapy and the triggered ATP therapy mode is enabled, deliver ATP therapy via two or more of the plurality of electrodes; and

    when the received electrical signals are indicative of a command for the LCP to deliver therapy and the LCP is in a safe mode in which the triggered ATP therapy mode is not enabled, not delivering ATP therapy via two or more of the plurality of electrodes.
