An implantable medical lead is described herein wherein the lead includes a tubular body, an electrode, a lead connector end and a helical conductor. The tubular body includes a proximal end and a distal end. The electrode is coupled to the body near the distal end. The lead connector end is coupled to the body near the proximal end. The helical conductor coil extends through the body from the lead connector end to the electrode. In extending through the body, the helical conductor coil first extends distally for a distance, then proximally for the distance, and then distally for the distance within a single helical layer of the helical conductor coil. The electrode may be a ring electrode.
