Claim:
1. An epicardial heart stimulation device system, comprising: a delivery catheter comprising a handle coupled with a catheter shaft having a distal end; a heart stimulation device releaseably coupled to the distal end of the catheter shaft by an engagement feature, the heart stimulation device comprising a first anchor channel housing an anchor therein, the first anchor channel terminating at an opening on an attachment side of the heart stimulation device; wherein the delivery catheter further comprises: a heart stimulation device release controller for actuating the engagement feature of the delivery catheter to selectively disengage the heart stimulation device from the distal end of the catheter shaft; a first anchor controller for actuating a first stylet to control the deployment of the heart stimulation device anchor disposed in the first anchor channel, the first stylet extending down the catheter shaft and engaging with the anchor housed in the first anchor channel of the heart stimulation device; wherein the heart stimulation device comprises a proximal module coupled to a distal module by a tether, the distal end of the catheter shaft releaseably coupled with the proximal module at an attachment end of the proximal module and the distal module extending cantilever from the distal end of the catheter shaft.
