Abstract:
Some embodiments of pacing systems employ wireless electrode assemblies to provide pacing therapy. The wireless electrode assemblies may wirelessly receive energy via an inductive coupling so as to provide electrical stimulation to the surrounding heart tissue. In certain embodiments, the wireless electrode assembly may include one or more biased tines that shift from a first position to a second position to secure the wireless electrode assembly into the inner wall of the heart chamber.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of providing electrical stimulation to the heart, the method comprising:\n advancing an electrode assembly within a lumen of a delivery catheter to a target tissue site in the heart, the electrode assembly including:\n a body including a distal end region and a proximal end region; \n an electrode immovably fixed to the distal end region of the body; and \n a tine including a base, a tip and a medial portion extending therebetween, wherein the base is immovably fixed the body; \n deploying the electrode assembly out of the lumen of the delivery catheter, wherein deploying the electrode assembly shifts the medial portion from a first configuration to a second curved configuration; wherein the medial portion includes an apex positioned distal to the tip while in the second curved configuration; wherein deploying the electrode assembly engages the medial portion of the tine to the target tissue of the heart to secure the electrode assembly thereto.
