Techniques and systems for monitoring cardiac arrhythmias and delivering electrical stimulation therapy using a subcutaneous device (e.g. subcutaneous implantable (SD)) and a leadless pacing device (LPD) are described. In one or more embodiments, a computer-implemented method includes sensing a first electrical signal from a heart of a patient through a SD. The first signal is stored into memory and serves as a baseline rhythm for a patient. Subsequently, a second signal is sensed from the heart through the SD. A cardiac condition can be detected within the sensed second electrical signal through the SD. A determination is made as to whether cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is appropriate to treat the detected cardiac condition. A determination can then be made as to the timing of pacing pulse delivery to cardiac tissue through a leadless pacing device (LPD). The LPD receives communication from the SD requesting the LPD to deliver CRT to the heart. The SD senses and extracts data from a third electrical signal from the heart of the patient to determine whether the pacing by LPD provided efficacious resynchronization or whether the delivery and timing of the LPD pulse should be modified.
