Implication
May warrant close early monitoring of atrial lead parameters; leaves open generalizability beyond this model.

Intervention
Medtronic 6991 atrial transvenous endocardial lead
O
Outcome
Electrophysiological properties including P wave amplitude, threshold of stimulation, and electrode resistance over four weekssurrogate
The Medtronic 6991 atrial transvenous lead shows a significant decrease in P wave amplitude during the first week and an increase in stimulation threshold over four weeks post-insertion.
