An implantable endocardial defibrillation lead having a conductor for conducting at least high voltage defibrillation shocks. A coil electrode is connected to an elongated, flexible, electrically non-conductive lead body and is supplied with electrical power for delivering electrical shocks to the heart through a looped cable conductor that extends through the lead body and is associated with a power source. The coil electrode extends proximately from a connection between the conductor and the coil electrode, forming a proximal segment. The proximal segment is preferably at least 5 mm long, more preferably between 7 mm and 10 mm long.
