Measurement and Regulation of Cardiac Ventricular Repolarization: From the QT Interval to Repolarization Morphology

Ventricular repolarization (VR) is a crucial step in cardiac electrical activity because it corresponds to a recovery period setting the stage for the next heart contraction. Small perturbations of ...

Ventricular Strain and Ventricular Hypertrophy

WHEN medical terminology was less precise the expression "strained heart" was employed at times to describe obscurely but ominously diseased hearts. This diagnosis is no longer made, but currently the ...
