1. An electrode system connectable to a pacemaker for sequentially pacing both the atrium and ventricle of a human heart comprising:
a plurality of insulated electrical leads comprising a first set of three ventricle leads and a second set of four atrium leads,
an outer catheter sheath disposed over said plurality of leads, the outer catheter sheath being retractable from the ventricle leads to deploy the ventricle leads in the ventricle, each of the ventricle leads having a resiliency and shape to be deployed in contact with the ventricle wall when the sheath is retracted therefrom, the outer catheter sheath also being retractable from the atrium leads to deploy the atrium leads in the atrium, each of the atrium leads having the resiliency and shape to be deployed in contact with the atrium wall when the sheath is retracted,
wherein the ventricle leads are not attachable to the ventricle wall, but are adapted to contact the ventricle wall, and the atrium leads are not attachable to the atrium wall, but are adapted to contact the atrium wall.
