Abstract:
A 36-year-old pregnant woman (20 weeks) was admitted to the coronary care unit because of ventricular tachycardia (VT). 12-Lead electrocardiogram showed a monomorphic regular wide QRS tachycardia with a ventricular rate of 220 beats/min and left bundle branch block morphology. Her electrocardiogram after the termination of the tachycardia returned to baseline with the Twave inversions in V1-V6 and DII, DII, aVF. The marked T-wave inversions demonstrate cardiac memory due to the preceding abnormal ventricular activation caused by VT. Because the T-wave inversion happened after the conversion from VT to sinus rhythm, it may be explained by the cardiac memory phenomenon.

Cardiac Action Potential
The cardiac action potential process involves a series of phases characterized by the movement of ions across the cardiac cell membranes, leading to the depolarization and repolarization of the cardiac myocytes.

Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle
A cardiac action potential originates in the SA node and spreads throughout the atria and the AV node in approximately 0.03 seconds. This results in the P wave in an ECG and triggers atrial contraction. The action potential is then briefly slowed at the AV node, allowing the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before...
