ABSTRACT:
An improved electrical lead and the associated surgical procedure for using the same to connect the heart of a post-operative patient temporarily to an external cardiac pacemaker. An elongated non-conductive carrier housing a pair of insulated signal wires is provided with a pair of contact plates at separate locations along the surface of the carrier. Each of the plates is connected to one of the signal wires. The contact plates are configured and spaced apart to provide intimate electrical contact with the external walls of the atrium and ventricle when the carrier is placed in proper position dorsal to the heart.
