The right ventricular repolarization phase was studied in 48 healthy men between 20 and 40 years of age. The assessment of the repolarization time included the measurement of ventricular effective refractory periods and monophasic action potentials during constant ventricular stimulation. Computer‐based analysis of the monophasic action potential allowed the duration at 90% and 50% repolarization, the amplitude, the maximal upstroke velocity and the total rise time of the depolarization to be determined. These results may serve as reference values in further studies on ventricular repolarization using the same monophasic action potential recording technique.
