ABSTRACT:
An implantable cardiac stimulation catheter includes a helical electrode segment disposed about a central core of electrically non-conductive material for delivering an electrical pulse to the heart of the patient. The catheter may include a tubular electrode segment disposed on the catheter and electrically connected with the helical electrode. The helical and tubular electrode segments may be defibrillation electrode segments. The catheter may also include a demand pacer electrode for delivering a demand pacing pulse to the heart and/or a fixation mechanism for securing the catheter within the patient's heart.
