The atrial defibrillation threshold (ADFT) energy of the standard lead configuration, right atrial appendage (RAA) to coronary sinus (CS), was reduced by >50% with the addition of a third electrode traversing the atrial septum in a previous study. This study determined whether the ADFT would be lowered by a more clinically practical third electrode placed in the right atrium along the atrial septum (RSP).
