Key result
Right ventricular monophasic action potential recording in 48 healthy young men allowed the determination of repolarization parameters to serve as reference values for future studies.
Observational (n=48)
This study establishes reference values for right ventricular monophasic action potential parameters in healthy young men.
Provides reference values for RV monophasic action potential repolarization in healthy young men; leaves open validation and applicability in patients or other groups.
The right ventricular repolarization phase was studied in 48 healthy men between 20 and 40 years of age. The assessment of the repolarization time included the measurement of ventricular effective refractory periods and monophasic action potentials during constant ventricular stimulation. Computer-based analysis of the monophasic action potential allowed the duration at 90% and 50% repolarization, the amplitude, the maximal upstroke velocity and the total rise time of the depolarization to be determined. These results may serve as reference values in further studies on ventricular repolarization using the same monophasic action potential recording technique.

Edvardsson et al. (1984) conducted an observational in Healthy (n=48). Right ventricular monophasic action potential recording was evaluated on Duration at 90% and 50% repolarization, amplitude, maximal upstroke velocity and total rise time of depolarization. Right ventricular monophasic action potential recording in 48 healthy young men allowed the determination of repolarization parameters to serve as reference values for future studies.
