1. An implantable medical lead, comprising:
a lead body;
a first proximal connector located on a proximal end of the lead body;
a second proximal connector located on the proximal end of the lead body and spaced apart from the first proximal connector;
a first distal electrode located on a distal end of the lead body;
a second distal electrode located on the distal end of the lead body and spaced apart from the first distal electrode; and
a twisted pair of first and second conductors with insulation separating the first and second conductors, the twisted pair being present within the lead body, the first conductor of the twisted pair electrically connecting the first proximal connector and the first distal electrode, and the second conductor of the twisted pair electrically connecting the second proximal connector to the second distal electrode, wherein the twisted pair ranges from one twist per inch to one twist per two inches.
