35223

Endocardial pacing lead (An implantable flexible wire with an electrode, insulated with non-conductive material except at its ends, which serves as an electrical conductor to transmit pacing impulses from an implanted pulse generator to the heart; it is not intended to conduct defibrillation impulses. It may also transmit electrical responses from the heart back to the pacemaker. The electrode end is normally placed through a vein to contact the wall of one of the heart's chambers (endocardium), and the other end is connected to the pacemaker. It is typically impregnated with a steroid (e.g., dexamethasone) intended to elute into the tissues to reduce inflammation.)
