An electrode system for pacemakers comprises at least one ventricular electrode (10, 18), intended for placement in contact with heart tissue in the ventricle in order to sense electrical activity and stimulate and connected to a conductor for transmitting signals to and from the electrode. The part of the conductor nearest to the ventricular electrode (10) is in the form of an insulated needle, helix or screw (18) for puncturing or screwing into the part of the atrial wall facing the septum (12) during implantation and then on into the septum or superior part of the outer ventricular wall. <IMAGE> |
