Abstract

A drug delivery system incorporated into a cardiac device (Fig. 1) for delivering a dose (133) of a drug to a patient upon detection of a particular medical condition. The cardiac device may be, for example, an implantable cardioverter/defibrillator, cardiac pacemaker, or combination device that communicates via a radio frequency link (40, 140) with a drug delivery device (Fig. 2). The drug delivery device is preferably an electrically modulated transdermal drug delivery device for delivering the drug transdermally in accordance with a signal received from the cardiac device.
