ABSTRACT:
An endocardial electrode for intracardial stimulation of a heart is comprised of an elongated electrical conductor encased within an electrical insulator with a two-component head member positioned on the insulator at the distal end of the electrode for contact with heart tissue when the electrode is operationally positioned relative to the heart. One of the head member components is in electrical contact with the elongated conductor while the other component is spaced therefrom. The component in contact with the conductor is composed of a heart-tissue compatible conductive material which exhibits a minimum heart stimulation threshold, such as carbon or the like, and the component spaced from the conductor is composed of a heart-tissue compatible material which exhibits a receptiveness for growth of heart tissue thereabout, such as platinum or the like.
