<p>A cardioversion arrangement having an electrode arrangement for the intracardial discharge of electrical pulses in the atrium of a heart, having an electrode line and in the region of its distal end a plurality of electrodes which can be electrically connected by way of the electrode line to an electrical pulse-discharging device and a defibrillator, wherein the electrode-bearing region at the distal end of the electrode line is split into two branches of which one is in the form of a septal branch and the other is in the form of a lateral branch for assuming a septal position and a lateral position in the atrium of a heart, wherein the branches are respectively provided with electrodes in such a way that each electrode of a branch is associated in pair-wise manner with an electrode of the other branch, for the discharge of bipolar pulses, and the cardioversion arrangement is designed to record intra-atrial electrograms by means of the electrodes by receiving electrical signals between a respective two of the electrodes in the bipolar mode of operation. <IMAGE></p> |
