Effect of Short-term Cardiac Memory on Ventricular Electrical Restitution and QT Intervals in Humans

Cardiac memory (CM) can alter the configuration of action potentials and the transmural repolarization gradient in ventricular tissue. This study evaluated the effects of CM on ventricular arrhythmogenicity. A total of 20 patients (12 females, 8 males; mean age, 46 ± 13 years) were enrolled. The fol...
