1. An implantable medical device system for providing adjustable rate pacing therapy to a heart of a patient, the system comprising:

  • a leadless cardiac pacemaker (LCP) configured to be implantable within or proximate the heart of the patient, wherein the LCP comprises a plurality of electrodes and a controller operably coupled to the plurality of electrodes, wherein the controller of the LCP is configured to;

    sense cardiac electrical data using two or more of the plurality of electrodes;

    provide pacing therapy to the heart of the patient using two or more of the plurality of electrodes, the pacing therapy based at least in part on the sensed cardiac electrical data;

    an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) that has a lead with two or more electrodes that are implanted in a location that is spaced from the heart of the patient, wherein the ICD comprises a patient activity sensor and a controller operably coupled to the patient activity sensor, wherein the controller of the ICD is configured to;

    sense patient activity using the patient activity sensor, andwirelessly communicate a patient activity data signal to the LCP using the two or more electrodes; and

    wherein the controller of the LCP is configured to determine an adjustment to the provided pacing therapy based at least in part on the received patient activity data signal and to adjust the pacing therapy.
