An electrode line for intraluminal or intracardiac use for connection to a cardiac pacemaker, comprises an elongate, flexurally soft electrode line body having a distal end at which or in the proximity of which is arranged at least one distal electrode which is electrically connected to the electrical connecter and has an electrically conducting outside surface. The electrode line has a lumen for receiving a guide wire or the like. The distal electrode and the distal opening of the lumen in the region of the distal end of the electrode line body are arranged in mutually laterally displaced relationship with respect to a longitudinal direction of the electrode line body so that a guide wire issuing from the distal opening is guided in laterally displaced relationship past the distal electrode and the distal opening is arranged without longitudinal displacement beside a proximal end of the distal electrode or is arranged with a longitudinal displacement in displaced relationship distally with respect to the proximal end of the distal electrode.
