Abstract

A single electrode probe for a cardiac pacemaker system, in particular for a DDD cardiac pacemaker system, has an electrode line with a bifurcated section, at the beginning of which the electrode line divides into two electrode line portions which rejoin at the end of the section to again form one portion, wherein at least one of the portions has at least one electrode for the delivery of electrical energy to adjoining myocardium.
