May extend device longevity via higher impedances; single-case data leaves broader validation open.
Smaller surface (1.5 mm2) steroid-eluting pacing electrodes provide excellent pacing and sensing performance with significantly higher pacing impedances, which may enhance permanent pacemaker longevity.
Fogel et al. (1996) studied this question.
