Abstract

This paper gives an overview of multiple factors, like the mechanisms governing rate adaptation of ventricular action potentials and autonomic mechanisms, which play a role in the genesis of exercise-recovery hysteresis in the ECG. It also discusses the possible association between exercise-recovery ECG hysteresis and arrhythmogeneity.

Keywords: Arrhythmogeneity; Exercise; Healthy subjects; Heart failure; Hysteresis; Inhomogeneity; Recovery; Ventricular gradient.
