Fig. 1 Lead survival (A), stimulation thresholds (B), sensing thresholds (C), and impedances (D) of steroid-eluting epicardial versus conventional endocardial pacing leads. The numbers in the panels indicate the number of observations at that point. For graphic reasons, SD is in B only shown for ventricular leads, and in D only for atrial leads. *P < .05, group I vs group II. Open circle, steroid-eluting epicardial leads; closed circle, endocardial leads; open diamond, atrial steroid-eluting epicardial leads; closed diamond, atrial endocardial leads; open square, ventricular steroid-eluting epicardial leads; closed square, ventricular endocardial leads.
