Dual-chamber leadless pacemakers (LPs) require robust communication between distinct right atrial (RA) and right ventricular (RV) LPs to achieve atrioventricular (AV) synchrony. The purpose of this preclinical study was to evaluate a novel, continuous implant-to-implant (i2i™) communication methodol...
