ABSTRACT:
An implantable cardiac defibrillation lead is provided in which surface modification and deposition techniques are utilized to provide improved electrical and mechanical characteristics. The surface of an electrode can thereby be matched to the heart tissue for biocompatibility while at the same time providing for the appropriate electrical and mechanical characteristics of the electrode material.
