Abstract

An electrode catheter, in particular for cardiac therapy, includes an elongated, tube-type catheter body, a ring electrode before the distal end of the electrode catheter for delivery and/or measurement of an electrical signal, in particular an electrocardio signal, by way of the outer electrode contact surface thereof, and a supply lead for the electrical connection of the ring electrode. The ring electrode is mounted on the catheter body such that it can be displaced relative thereto in the longitudinal axial direction.
