ABSTRACT:
An exemplary electrode arrangement comprises an elongated electrical conductor with a covering of electrical insulation and with an electrode head electrically connected to the distal end of the conductor for supplying stimulation pulses to the heart. The electrode arrangement includes a filamentary element or elements for fixing the conductor assembly to a cardiac wall. In order to be able to flatten the or each element closely against the conductor assembly and to anchor the electrode head securely in the trabeculae and to nonetheless facilitate a subsequent positional correction of the electrode head in the heart, it is inventively proposed that the or each filamentary element be of soft, flexible material and extend in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the conductor, the or each element preferably at least partially encircling the conductor assembly at a substantial spacing therefrom.
