Abstract

Bridging basic and clinical electrophysiology has been facilitated by monophasic action potential recordings. The electrocardiogram is a useful clinical approach in detecting abnormal repolarization, but falls short in depicting local repolarization details. The MAP waveform is a reflection of local transmembrane action potentials. We hope to convey a basic understanding of monophasic action potential recording and highlight the clinical utility in both ventricular and atrial arrhythmias.
