CA 2140470

A catheter insertable into a body provides for both sensing electrical activity of the heart at localized locations of the heart and defibrillating the heart when defibrillation is required. The catheter includes a plurality of connectors at the proximal end and a plurality of electrodes disposed along the catheter at the distal end. The plurality of electrodes includes a first plurality of electrodes and a second plurality of electrodes. The first plurality of electrodes are coupled together and to a given one of the plurality of connectors. Each of the second plurality of electrodes is coupled to a respective different one of the plurality of connectors. The first plurality of electrodes provide for defibrillating the heart and the second plurality of electrodes provide for sensing electrical activity of the heart at localized locations of the heart.

Cathéter pouvant être inséré dans le corps, permettant à la fois la détection électrique de l'activité cardiaque à certains sites du coeur, et la défibrillation de celui-ci lorsqu'elle est requise. Le cathéter renferme un grand nombre de connecteurs à l'extrémité proximale et un grand nombre d'électrodes disposées le long du cathéter à l'extrémité distale. Les électrodes sont constituées d'un premier groupe et d'un second groupe d'électrodes. Celles du premier groupe sont connectées entre elles et à un connecteur donné. Chacune des électrodes du second groupe est reliée respectivement à un connecteur différent. Le premier groupe d'électrodes assure la défibrillation du coeur, et le second se charge de la détection de l'activité électrique cardiaque à certains sites du coeur.
