Claim Text:
1. An implantable electrode arrangement for cardiological devices comprising: an elongate electrode body with a proximal end and distal end; at least one electrode configured to contact tissue of a body and is arranged at, or in the vicinity of, the distal end of the elongate electrode body; at least one electric contact line that contacts the at least one electrode; and, an electromechanical resonance arrangement comprising a piezocrystalline resonance element, wherein the electromechanical resonance arrangement is connected to the at least one electrode or the at least one electrical contact line that converts high-frequency signals irradiated into the implantable electrode arrangement into acousto-mechanical vibrations; wherein the piezocrystalline resonance element comprises a geometrical dimension that corresponds to a half-wavelength or an odd-numbered multiple of the half-wavelength of the acousto-mechanical vibrations in a frequency range from 10 MHz to 400 MHz.
