A method and apparatus for treating malignant ventricular arrhythmias is provided. The apparatus includes a lead system (16) that is placed subcutaneously in a patient and a pulse generator (10) connected to lead system (16) by lead (14). The lead system (16) includes a plurality of energy delivery electrodes for delivering energy stimulation to a patient's heart and a plurality of monitoring electrodes for monitoring the occurrence of or sensing an arrhythmia. The lead system (16) is encapsulated in a sheath of biocompatible material to prevent electrodes (26A-26F) form contacting each other and shorting out or shorting together. |
