ABSTRACT:
In an exemplary embodiment useful for the intracardiac stimulation of the heart, an elongated electric conductor is provided with an electric insulation covering, and has an electrode head which is electrically conductively connected with the distal end of the conductor, serving the purpose of supplying the stimulation pulses to the heart. The conductor or the electrode head is to be emplaced on the heart wall. It is the object of the disclosure to produce an endocardial electrode arrangement of the type initially cited which is readily embedded as a result of tissue growth and which nevertheless has a comparatively small volume. In accordance with the disclosure, this object is achieved in that, for the purpose of placement of the conductor, or of the electrode head, a loop or a plurality of loops consisting of soft, thin material is provided which is mounted on the electrode head or on the electric insulation of the elongated electric conductor in proximity of the electrode head.
