Abstract

The duration of ventricular myocardium excitation increases during atrioventricular stimulation of dog heart and the sequence of depolarization of the right and left ventricles is desynchronized. Significant shortening of the activation-recovery interval in the intramural and subendocardial layers of the left ventricular base leads to modification of the repolarization sequence in this area and to an increase of total dispersion of activation-recovery intervals in the cardiac ventricles, as a result of which repolarization sequence starts partially repeating the depolarization sequence.
