ABSTRACT:
An electrode (10) adapted for external heart stimulation, and a connector (52) therefor. The electrode includes a first conductive member (14) having a sheet-like configuration and an area resistivity of at least 0.003 ohm-cm.sup.2, and a second conductive member (16) having a sheet-like configuration, and having one surface in contact with the first conductive member and a second surface adapted to engage the patient's skin. Current is introduced at a centrally located portion of the first conductive member. The second conductive member has an area resistivity greater than the area resistivity of the first conductive member, such that the first conductive member acts as a distributor to distribute current density over the area of the electrode. The connector apparatus includes a conductive post (30) from the electrode, a connector having a body shape to form a socket (56), an opening through which the post can extend into the socket, a plurality of outwardly projecting rings encircling the opening, and adhesive means (48) for adhesively connecting the rings to the surface of the electrode adjacent the post.
