PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3-months

Population: 167 have been enrolled. 165 were included in the analysis because for 2 patients the leads have not been implanted

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: 3 Months Post-Implant

Population: 167 have been enrolled. 138 were included in the analysis because we have the lead measurements for those number of patients collected .

Pacing Threshold at 0.5 ms pulse width at 3 Months Post-Implant. During the RELIANCE 4-FRONT PASSIVE fixation PMCF Study pacing threshold measurements are collected from RELIANCE 4-FRONT PASSIVE fixation leads in the standard manual fashion. At least 3 cardiac cycles at a given voltage level shall be obtained before stepping down to the next voltage level. A count of two non-capture beats is required at a given voltage level to declare a loss of capture (LOC) for any of these tests. The threshold is defined as one voltage level above the level where two non-captured beats are observed. Threshold tests must be taken with a pulse width of 0.5 ms.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: 3 Months Post-Implant

Population: 167 patients were enrolled. From 141 patients we could collected the sensed amplitude at 3 months

Lead performance evaluations of the Reliance 4-FRONT PASSIVE fixation lead have been conducted in accordance with the Physician's Lead Manual. Measurements should fall within the recommended values as mentioned below: Signal Type Amplitude Pacing Threshold Impedance Pacing/Sensing ≥ 5mV ≤1.5 V 300-1200 Ω Defibrillation ≥ 1mV N/A 20-125 Ω The required data from the implant procedure for the study lead is measured with a pacing system analyzer (PSA) to verify adequate signals. Electrical performance of the lead was verified before attaching the lead to the Pulse Generator (PG). After the PG has been implanted evaluation of the study lead using the PG has been performed. Lead measurements were required unless the testing is prohibited by a subject's condition (subject has no intrinsic rhythm). In case the measurements are variable (e.g. in patients with atrial fibrillation), the most reproducible value has been collected.
