ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An implantable electrode system for connection to a pulse generator for cardioverting a malfunctioning heart by discharging electrical energy through the heart has a first cardioverting electrode shaped for association with the heart in the region of the base of the heart and a second cardioverting electrode shaped for association with the heart in the region of the apex of the heart, the second electrode having a first sur- face which is conductive and of a size and shape so as to con- form to the outer contour of the heart in the region of its apex, and so as to extend around at least a portion of the apex of the heart and a second, electrically insulated surface adapted to face away from the heart. Leads are associated with the electrodes for the connection of cardioverting electrical energy across the electrodes and through the heart.
