Abstract

An intraventricular multielectrode cardiac mapping probe having an electrode array assembly which is initially stored within the distal lumen of a delivery catheter and after placement of the tip of the catheter at a target location within the heart the electrode array may be moved out of its retracted position to expand into a generally planar configuration to position electrodes for mapping of the heart chamber.
