ABSTRACT:
A transvenous heart pacing lead has atrial and ventricular electrodes enabling both atrial and ventricular pacing or sequential pacing. The atrial electrode is mounted either directly on the main lead body or on an atrial lead portion branching from the lead body. A barbed or other fixing element is mounted in the atrial electrode and can be forced outward by means of a guide wire so as to anchor the electrode to the atrial wall. In this way it is ensured that good electrical contact is maintained permanently.
