| Abstract | INTRODUCTION The diameter of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) leads has become progressively smaller over time. However, the long-term performance characteristics of these smaller ICD leads are unknown. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 357 patients who underwent implantation of a Medtronic Sprint Fidelis defibrillating lead at two separate centers between September 2004 and October 2006. Lead characteristics were measured at implant, at early follow-up (1-4 days post implant), and every 3-6 months thereafter. RESULTS During the study period, 357 patients underwent implantation of the Medtronic Sprint Fidelis lead. The mean R-wave measured at implant through the device was not different (P = NS) when compared with that measured at first follow-up (10.5 +/- 5.0 mV vs 10.7 +/- 5.1 mV). Forty-one patients (13%) had an R-wave amplitude |
