afterdepolarization
1Afterdepolarization — Afterdepolarizations are abnormal depolarizations of cardiac myocytes that interrupt phase 2, phase 3, or phase 4 of the cardiac action potential in the electrical conduction system of the heart. Afterdepolarizations may lead to cardiac… …
2afterdepolarization — af·ter·de·po·lar·iza·tion (af″tər de po″lər ĭ zaґshən) a depolarizing afterpotential, sometimes occurring in tissues not normally excitable. It is frequently one of a series, failing to reach threshold and self… …
3delayed afterdepolarization — (DAD) an afterdepolarization occurring after full repolarization, and generally during a period of hyperpolarization, of the cells initially depolarized in the main (spike) potential …
4early afterdepolarization — (EAD) an afterdepolarization occurring before full repolarization of the cells initially depolarized in the main (spike) potential, thus arising from a low membrane potential …
