Using data from the Resynchronization/Defibrillation for Ambulatory Heart Failure (RAFT) study, we examined whether Fidelis lead failure was more common in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (ICD-CRT) than in patients with an ICD only.
