Why the study?
Does a unipolar trailing tined lead with a 6 mm2 platinum dish electrode improve implant electrical parameters compared to a standard 8 mm2 platinum electrode in patients requiring pacemakers?

The high impedance dish electrode significantly improves implant electrical parameters, which may enhance pulse generator longevity without compromising R wave amplitude.
