ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for treating arrhythmias of the human heart includes a defibrillator, and an arrangement for providing passive diode multiplexing between two patches for bidirectionally passing an electric current through a human heart. The arrangement is formed by connecting a cathode of a first diode to a first mesh electrode on a first conductor and connecting an anode of a second diode to a second mesh electrode on the first patch. An anode of the first diode and a cathode of the second diode are then connected to a lead. An identical diode arrangement is provided for the second patch.
