1. A method for electrical cardiac pacing comprising:

  • supplying means for electrical stimulation to a cardiac blood pool, wherein the means for electrical stimulation lacks intimate contact with cardiac tissue; and

    applying biphasic electrical stimulation to the cardiac blood pool for cardiac pacing, wherein the electrical stimulation comprises;

    a first stimulation phase with a first phase polarity, a first phase amplitude, a first phase shape and a first phase duration; and

    a second stimulation phase with a second phase polarity, a second phase amplitude, a second phase shape and a second phase duration;

    wherein the first phase polarity is positive.
