Guidewires and methods for transmitting electrical stimuli to a heart and for guiding and supporting the delivery of elongate treatment devices within the heart are disclosed. A guidewire can comprise an elongate body, including first and second elongate conductors, and at least first and second electrodes. A distal end portion of the elongate body can include a preformed bias shape, such as a pigtail-shaped region, on which the first and second electrodes can be located. The preformed bias shape can optionally be non-coplanar relative to an intermediate portion of the elongate body. The first and second elongate conductors can be formed of a single structure or two or more electrically connected structures. The conductors can extend from proximal end portions to distal end portions that electrically connect to the first and second electrodes. A corewire can extend the length of the elongate body, can at least partially form the first conductor, and can be at least partially surrounded by the second conductor.

Catheters and related methods for supporting a guidewire or delivering an agent through a vessel stenosis or other tortuous anatomy are disclosed. A catheter can comprise an elongate shaft body and a polymer tip member disposed at a distal end of the shaft body. The shaft body and the tip member can include a liner, one or both of a braid member or a coil member surrounding the liner, and a polymer cover surrounding the braid member or the coil member. The tip member can further include one or more filaments extending from a position overlapping, underlapping, or abutting a distal end of the braid member or the coil member on their proximal ends to a position distal to the braid member or the coil member on their distal ends. The one or more filaments can include a plurality of filaments arranged in a series of contacting helical windings about the liner, the braid member, or the coil member.
