RPA across the JT interval was computed. spectrally for 64\u2010heatsequences at paced cycle lengths (CLs) of 600, 500, and 400 msec, and expressed as the T wave alternans ratio (TWAR) on the vector ECG lead. Significant RPA (TWAR \u2265 3) was reconstructed into the time domain, and its center of area used to represent its temporal distribution. Twenty\u2010two patients were inducible into VT and 18 were not. RPA was of larger magnitude in Inducible than noninducible patients (TWAR = 11.1 vs 4.42, P = 0.035; 38.3 vs 5.74, P = 0.004;and 88.8 vs 4.2S. P = 0.001 in each, respectively), and was distributed later (P &lt; 0.02; CL 600msec). Applying TWAR \u2265 3 to the distal half of the JT segment produced greater specificity for inducible VT (88.9%, 66.7%, and 69.2% at each CL, respectively) than did RPA of the entire JT segment (77.8%. 53.3%, and 69.2%)<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Conclusion:<\/jats:italic> RPA is more specific for inducible VT when distributed late rather than else wherein repolarization, and this temporal distribution is heart rate sensitive.
