Abstract
An implantable pacemaker system includes a housing having a proximal end and a distal end. A control electronics subassembly defines the housing proximal end, and a battery subassembly defines the housing distal end. A distal fixation member extends from the housing distal end for fixing the housing distal end at an implant site. A pacing extension extends from the housing proximal end and carries a pacing cathode electrode. The pacing extension extends the pacing cathode electrode to a pacing site that is spaced apart from the implant site when the pacemaker is deployed in a patient's body.
