If you have complete AV block, a leadless pacemaker is less good than one with multiple leads, since it allows pacing multiple chambers and maintaining synchrony between A and V.

There are now leadless devices that communicate with each other using RF.
That's neat, although the left channel of my wireless earbuds drop out like 2% of the time!

What I want is a shoulder implanted pacemaker that's significantly smaller, with a quarter of the primary battery capacity, and an inductively charged supercap that can store enough charge to run at least week between charges.
