Abstract
An electrode device, for intracardiac stimulation of heart tissue and/or sensing heart signals in a patient, has an electrode cable containing at least two elongate, flexible conductors, insulated from each other, and with an electrode head, arranged at the distal end of the electrode cable and at least two conductive surfaces, each connected to a separate conductor. In order to permit the distance between the conductive surfaces to be varied over a continuous range, simply and easily, the electrode head has at least two parts, moveable in relation to each other, each part being provided with at least one conductive surface, and the a control element is movably arranged at the distal end of the electrode cable immediately behind the electrode head, so any change in the position of the control element causes the control element to act on the parts of the electrode head such that the distance between the conductive surfaces is varied.
