1. A dilatable cardiac electrode arrangement for implantation in particular in a coronary sinus of the heart;
- comprisinga defibrillator electrode (1) having an expandable, electrically conductive structure and having two ends that face away from one another;
pacemaker electrodes (8) in the form of at least a section of a ring, which have a smaller surface as compared to the defibrillator electrode (1), which are disposed on said ends (6) of the defibrillator electrode (1), and which also have an electrically conductive structure which is expandable from a first diameter to a second diameter, the second diameter being larger than the first diameter;
insulation zones (7) between the pacemaker electrodes (8) and the defibrillator electrode (1); and
electric liens (15, 16, 17) for the defibrillator electrode (1) and the pacemaker electrodes (8).
