1. A measuring probe for epicardial ECG monitoring, comprises a measuring element (2) for measuring electric signal from a heart, a connecting fragment (4) and a connecting element (3) arranged to output the measured heart signal through the connecting fragment (4), where the measuring element (2) is electrically connected with the connecting element (3), and the connecting element (3) is a layered element containing a conductive layer (32), a dielectric layer (33) insulating the conductive layer (32) and a base layer (21) extending over the entire surface of the connecting element (3), characterized in that the measuring element (2) is a layered element containing a signal-collecting layer (22) located over at least a part of the measuring element (2), and the base layer (21) extending over the entire surface of the measuring element (2), wherein the signal-collecting layer (22) of the measuring element (2) is simultaneously an adhesive layer (23), which allows to fix the probe (1) to the heart, wherein the connecting fragment (4) provided at the end of the connecting element (3), opposite to the measuring element (2), is a layered element containing the conductive layer (32) and the base layer (21), with a maximum dimension of the measuring element (2) perpendicular to its thickness being 30 mm,
wherein in the measuring element (2), the base layer (21) is located over the signal-collecting layer (22), and in the connecting element (3), the base layer (21) is located over the conductive layer (32) which is arranged over the dielectric layer (33), wherein the signal-collecting layer (22) of the measuring element (2) and the conductive layer (32) of the connecting element (3) constitute a continuous layer extending across the measuring element (2) and the connecting element (3).
