Septal depolarization
Ventricular muscle
Base of heart
Depolarization of Interventricular Septum
Left bundle branch
Septal myocardium is
depolarized by left bundle
branch, not right bundle
branch
Depolarization is produced in
lower and left part of septum
So depolarization wave in
septum moves from left to
right and down to up
Ventricular Myocardium via Purkinje Fibers
After depolarizing septum, wave
of depolarizing will travel
through ventricular myocardium
via purkinje fibers
Myocardium- Subendocardium,
middle part of myocardial
muscle, sup-pericardial
First part of ventricular tissue
that is depolarized is
subendocardium
Since left ventricle is thick,
stronger vector is produced
while right ventricle is thin, a
smaller vector is produced
Depolarization Wave and Vector in
Base of heart
Due to depolarization of base
of the heart, wave of
depolarization travels upward
and to the right
Repolarization of Ventricle
Repolarization wave starts from
outside to inside
