The SENSE-AF study aims to determine the performance of the OptiSense lead in sensing fine episodes of Atrial Tachyarrhythmia/Atrial Fibrillation (AT/AF) and rejecting Far-Field R Wave (FFRW). The performance of the lead will be measured as a difference in device-determined time in AT/AF and surface-ECG determined time in AT/AF. This measurement will be compared to the control group which will be randomized to receive SJM's Tendril™ RA leads.

The OptiSense™ Model 1699 lead is a bipolar, steroid-eluting, silicone-insulated, active fixation implantable lead, designed for long-term pacing and sensing in the right atrium. The tip-to-ring spacing in the OptiSense lead is 1.1mm and "narrow-spaced" compared to the Tendril lead.
The Tendril® is a bipolar, steroid-eluting, silicone-insulated, active fixation implantable lead, designed for long-term pacing and sensing in either the atrium or the ventricle. The tip-to-ring spacing in the Tendril is "wide spaced" compared to the OptiSense lead.

The primary endpoint of the study is the difference in duration between the device-determined time in AF (Device Duration) and the ECG-determined time in AF (ECG Duration).
Time frame: 3 months post-implant
