Abstract
The defibrillation electrode is intended for a temporary and epicardial use after heart operations. For the purpose of local stimulation of the surface of the heart the electrode comprises at its distal end a wire having a distal end which can be drawn out of an anchoring position. The stimulation wire or a plurality of stimulation wires is or are preformed in such a manner that it or they fractally covers or cover a global surface of influence largely uniformly and with relatively large radii of curvature. The surface of influence has a largely iso-diametral form.
