Abstract
An body implantable stimulation lead is provided including tip electrode patterns and configurations producing low noise, clean sensed signals devoid of far field components, such sensed signals being generated irrespective of the direction of the incident depolarization wavefront. The invention also provides high pacing impedances and advantageous anode-to-cathode surface area ratios. Further, implantable leads utilizing the features of the present invention are particularly suitable for left side stimulation therapies.
