ABSTRACT:
The cardiac mapping lead comprises a main body portion and a tip portion having a tip. The main body portion is relatively flexible longitudinally and relatively stiff in a rotational sense so as to be torque transmitting when rotated. The tip portion includes a relatively flexible body having a preformed "pigtail" shape and one or more sleeve electrodes thereon. The torque transmitting main body portion can be rotated a predetermined amount at the proximal end thereof to effect like rotation of the tip portion in the heart chamber for placing the one or more pairs of sleeve electrodes against different, rotationally selected, inner wall surfaces of the heart chamber.
