Ventricular transmural repolarization sequence: its relationship with ventricular relaxation and role in ventricular diastolic function

Abstract

There is a strong correlation between transmural repolarization and relaxation sequences. A positive T wave that denotes transmural repolarization sequence from epicardium to endocardium is essential for normal diastolic function of ventricle and the reversal of such sequence is associated with ventricular diastolic dysfunction.
