Dynamic behavior of ventricular late potentials

In a series of 44 patients, 5 females and 39 males, the incidence and dynamic behavior of ventricular late potentials was studied. Using a home-built high resolution electrocardiogram equipment ventricular late potentials were found within the ST segment in 27/44 patients, and in 11 patients were the late potentials observed intermittently. In 21/44 patients late potentials were also present after the T wave, in 5 individuals intermittently.
