ABSTRACT:
A catheter of the type suitable for implantation in a human heart has a catheter tip and a preset curvature spaced along the catheter a distance from the tip. The catheter includes an integrated measuring probe with a measurement window, the measuring probe and window being disposed between the tip and the preset curvature at respective distances from each so that, given the aforementioned location of the catheter tip, it is insured that the measurement window of the probe will not lie against a wall of the heart, which would degrade the operation of the measuring probe, and moreover insures that the measuring probe and measurement window will be disposed at an optimum location for undertaking the desired measurement.
