RTepi is epicardial repolarization time and RTxd a representative value of subendocardial repolarization time.

APDepi = RTepi - ETepi, and APDendo = RTxd - ETendo, where ETepi and ETendo are epicardial excitation time (=QRp) and endocardial excitation time (taken as 10 ms).

§

QRp = interval from QRSonset to the peak of QRS vector magnitude curve.

RNDPV = QRS nondipolar voltages (square roots of the total variance of components 4 to 8 from singular value decomposition).

#

θ(Rm|Tm) = spatial angle between the mean QRS and T vectors.

††

θ(Rp|Tp) = spatial angle between the peak QRS and T vectors.

‡‡

θ(Tp|Tref) = spatial angle between the Tp vector and the reference T vector (Tref), signifying spatial deviation angle of repolarization direction from the direction of the normal repolarization sequence.

§§

θ(Tinit|Term) = spatial angle between the mean initial and terminal T vectors from quintiles 1-3 and quintiles 4-5 of global T wave, respectively.

‖‖

θ(Tinit|Tref) = spatial angles between the mean initial T vector and Tref vector.

##

θ(Tterm|Tref) = spatial angle between the mean terminal T vector and Tref vector.

†††

Symbol 'V' with SToV, ToV and TpV signifies vector magnitude of STo, To and Tp, respectively.

‡‡‡

ToV/TpV is the magnitude ratio of ToV and TpV vectors.
