Figure 1 Top: Gradual impedance rise culminating in impedance spikes in a patient (no. 23; Table 1) without lead integrity alert LIA). Middle: Stable impedance over 14 months followed by accelerating impedance that triggered LIA (no. 12; Table 2). Bottom: Gradual rise in impedance in a patient who had received appropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy (no. 2; Table 2). RV = right ventricular.
