Abstract

A vessel electrode line (10) for pacemaker stimulation and/or for sensing cardiac actions in the region of the atrium has an oblong base body (11) that receives at least one electrode supply line, and at least one electrode (13, 14) that is mounted on the base body, with the effective diameter of the electrode(s) being nearly identical to the diameter of the base body, and with fixing elements (11a) that essentially do not act as an electrode, and particularly have at least a partial insulating surface, being provided for fixedly positioning the electrode(s) with respect to the vessel wall.
