Abstract
Ventricular gradient or QRST area is theoretically independent of the ventricular activation sequence provided that the repolarization property is constant (1,2). The QRST isointegral map obtained from body surface maps has been proven to be independent of the activation sequence but dependent of the recovery property by animal experiments (3,6).
