Claim:
1. A intravascularly-deliverable electrode assembly, comprising: an electrostimulation circuit located in a housing; and two or more elongate members coupled to the housing at respective fixation sites and configured to extend outward and proximally relative to the respective fixation sites to collectively anchor the housing to a heart, each of the two or more elongate members including at least one electrode such that two or more electrodes are electrically coupled to the electrostimulation circuit and controllably addressable by the electrostimulation circuit for delivery of an electrostimulation to the heart; wherein the two or more elongate members are sized and shaped for intravascular delivery to the heart in a first configuration; and wherein, in response to a user actuation, the two or more elongate members are configured to move to a second configuration that is expanded relative to the first configuration to securely anchor the intravascularly-deliverable electrode assembly to the heart.
