Pre-hospital Discharge (PHD), 3 months, 6 months, 6 monthly for up to 10 years
Secondary outcome [2] 8347 0
Patient Symptoms (questions asked to patients by Physician at follow-up visits), and Adverse events. Eg. Implant complications, lead performance outside expectation such as dislodgement, loss of capture, threshols and sendsing concerns. These will be collected at follow up visits by testing the electrical performance of the leads and reviewing the device diagnostics.
