  # of Events  Comments 

Arrest – Respiratory  

Patient aspirated on an ice chip and went 
into respiratory failure ultimately resulting 
in patient death. 

Asystole 

Patient suffered an acute MI at home and 
expired 

Atrial Arrhythmia 

24 

26 

Patients had chronic atrial arrhythmias 
prior to device implant or arrhythmias were 
not attributed to the study 
device/procedure.  

Atrial Fibrillation 

Medication adjusted in one patient; 
catheter ablation done in one patient.  

Atrial Flutter 

Medication adjusted 

Cerebrovascular 
Accident  

The CVA remained unresolved in four 
patients, two of whom died as a result of 
the CVA. One patient went through 
rehabilitation and recovered.   

Chest Pain 

Chest pain resolved with no action in three 
patients. Medication was adjusted on two 

patients one of which had cardiac 
catheterization.  

Compression Fracture 
L2 Vertebral Body 

Patient treated with Kyphoplasty 

Decompensated Heart 
Failure 

Medications added or adjusted. One 
patient died due to multiple comorbidities.  

Device Upgraded to 
CRT 

Tendril MRI RA lead retained. Patient 
remains active in study.  

Electromagnetic 
Interference 

Event unresolvable; no action was taken. 

Elevated Pacing 
Thresholds 

Events occurred during initial lead 
placement; resolved once final lead 
placement was obtained.  

Episodic Dizziness 

Event resolved with medications 
adjustment. 

Fall 

Falls unrelated to device or cardiac issues.  

Gastroenteritis  

Patient treated with medication; no 
additional sequelae.  

Hypotension 

Medications adjusted; no additional 
sequelae observed. 

Left Arm Swelling 

No DVT; no action required. 

Left Shoulder Pain 

Pain unrelated to device/implant; no action 
required.  

Lumbar Spinal 
Stenosis  

Patients surgically treated; unrelated to 
device/study procedures.
