Pacing leads were predominantly transvenous, bipolar and passive fixation electrodes and active-fixation leads in the atrium are being used with increasing frequency. There were marked variations from country to country. In the UK, the ratios of active- to passive-fixation leads in the atrium and ventricle were 16:84 and 6:94, respectively, but in the USA the corresponding figures were 73:27 and 38:62, respectively. The 2001 Survey showed a progressive increase in the number of ICDs worldwide with the largest number of implants being in the USA (48,127, or 169 implants per million).

This success did not go unnoticed by Medtronic. On a rainy October evening in 1960, Hermundslie flew his own plane to Buffalo, met Chardack and Greatbach in the airport, and signed a contract for Medtronic to produce the Chardack–Greatbach implantable pulse generator. Earl Bakken started producing the Chardack– Greatbach pacemaker in November, and by the end of December 1960, Medtronic had received orders for 50 of the $375 units. Chardack, Gage, and Greatbatch reported a series of 15 patients who had pacemakers implanted.
