Abstract

n 1906, 11 years after Einthoven's first description of the P-QRS-T complex in a human electrocardiogram in 1895,1 he reported the existence of a wave after the T-wave, accordingly named U-wave, in a patient with “degenerative myocardial disease.” In the following years, Einthoven and Lewis noted the existence of a U-wave in the majority of their tracings. Recently, the unresolved problem of the U-wave genesis attracted renewed attention. These contradictory results prompted us to further investigate this phenomenon.

Cardiovascular & Hematology Research covers all levels of investigation into the normal and pathogenic functions of the heart, vasculature, and soluble blood components. Cell biology of vascular tissue and formed elements of blood, biochemical regulation of thrombosis, therapeutic strategies for treatment of cardiac and vascular diseases are also considered. Resources on hematologic oncology are excluded and are placed in the Oncogenesis & Cancer Research category.
