The invention relates to a multipolar esophageal electrode catheter that can be used for monitoring, stimulation, and cardioversion in cases of atrial fibrillation. Said catheter includes a flexible shaft (15) that has a proximal end and a distal end, and a multipolar electrode (3). The invention is characterized in that the distal end of the catheter is designed as an inflatable balloon (4) that is arranged on one side in such a way that the balloon helps orient the multipolar electrode (3) in the direction of the heart and press said electrode against the wall of the esophagus. |
