ventricular gradient

ventricular gradient
the net differences in ventricular electrical activity of varying duration, as determined by the algebraic sum of the electrocardiographic vectors representing the QRS and T-wave areas; as an index of duration of the excited state of the ventricles, it represents the local rate of repolarization.
