ABSTRACT:
A flexible catheter apparatus is adapted to be positioned in a patient for use in cardiac pacing, with a first electrode positioned within the heart, and a second one positioned outside the heart. In the preferred embodiment, the first electrode includes a plurality of spaced apart conducting bands located within about 2 cm of the end of the catheter. The bands are electrically connected and are two or more in number, with one such band located at about the distal end of the catheter, and at least another located about 1.0 cm from the distal end.
