Late potentials occurring after completion of the QRS complex have been observed in patients prone to ventricular tachycardia. They were recorded either during epicardial studies or in the catheterization laboratory. This paper describes such abnormal myocardial activity and discusses their potential effects on cardiac pacemakers.
