Abstract
A set of electrodes are provided, preferably in a symmetrical array, which electrodes are mounted within a pliable mounting cup that is capable of conforming to the shape and size of various surfaces of body organs, such as the heart. The pliable cup is capable of both epicardial and endocardial types of mapping procedures, each electrode being connected to a thin insulated wire that joins similar wires in a generally centrally located trunk portion of the cup, and a cable containing the thus bundled wires depends from the trunk portion for connection to a suitable data display and/or recording system.
