Abstract
This document discusses, among other things, a modular antitachyarrhythmia therapy system. In an example, a modular antitachyarrhythmia system includes at least two separate modules that coordinate delivery an antitachyarrhythmia therapy, such as defibrillation therapy. In another example, a modular antitachyarrhythmia therapy system includes a sensing module, an analysis module, and a therapy module.

2. An implantable cardiac rhythm management system comprising:
-
an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) having a controller, circuitry for delivery of defibrillation therapy, and communications circuitry for communicating with at least an external device and another implantable device, the implantable defibrillator adapted for use with a lead; a leadless intracardiac module (LIM) adapted for implantation inside the heart of a patient and having at least two electrodes thereon coupled to pacing circuitry for delivery of pacing therapy, the LIM also including communications circuitry for communicating with at least the implantable defibrillator; wherein the LIM is configured to communicate information about one or more sensed parameters to the ICD; and wherein the ICD is configured to determine whether to deliver defibrillation therapy using at least information communicated from the LIM. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
