Remote pace detection in an implantable medical device
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- an implantable stimulator configured to generate and deliver stimulation;
a sensor configured to receive information in a cardiac pacing signal, the cardiac pacing signal being a signal configured to capture myocardial tissue; and
a controller operably connected to the stimulator and the sensor, the controller configured to control the stimulator to provide a stimulation therapy, and to control the stimulation therapy using the received information from the cardiac pacing signal.

Abstract
A system embodiment for stimulating a neural target comprises a neural stimulator, a pace detector, and a controller. The neural stimulator is electrically connected to at least one electrode, and is configured to deliver a neural stimulation signal through the at least one electrode to stimulate the neural target. The pace detector is configured to use at least one electrode to sense cardiac activity and distinguish paced cardiac activity in the sensed cardiac activity from non-paced cardiac activity in the sensed cardiac activity. The controller is configured to control a programmed neural stimulation therapy using the neural stimulator and using detected paced cardiac activity as an input for the neural stimulation therapy.
