Abstract
Multipolar recording technics have been employed to record the spread of excitation through the wall of the ventricle. The construction of isochronous planes in a block of tissue aids in visualizing the direction of spread. The results give direct support to the idea of fast endocardial spread followed by syncytial spread through the wall at a slower rate. No evidence is found that the impulse spreads through the individual cardiac muscle bundles.Keywords
