AP waveform parameter definitions

Waveform parameterAbbreviationDefinition
Firing rate FR (AP/min) Number of APs fired per minute 
Diastolic duration DD (ms)a Time from maximum diastolic potential until the threshold potential 
Early diastolic duration EDD (ms) Time from maximum diastolic potential until the rate of depolarization deviates from a linear fit 
Late diastolic duration LDD (ms) Time from when the rate of diastolic depolarization deviates from a linear fit until threshold 
Action potential duration APD (ms) Time interval between the threshold potential during AP upstroke and the subsequent maximum diastolic potential 
Action potential duration at 50% repolarization APD50 (ms) Time interval for 50% repolarization 
Action potential duration at 90% repolarization APD90 (ms)a Time interval for 90% repolarization 
Late action potential duration LAPD (ms)a Time from when the threshold potential is reached during the repolarization phase until the subsequent maximum diastolic potential 
Maximum diastolic potential MDP (mV)a Most negative membrane potential during diastolic depolarization phase 
Threshold THR (mV)a Time at which the upstroke velocity reaches 0.5 mV/ms 
Peak potential PP (mV)a Most positive potential during the AP upstroke 
Action potential amplitude APA (mV) Difference between maximum diastolic potential and peak potential 
Diastolic depolarization rate DDR (mV/ms)a Rate of the membrane potential change at the end of the early diastolic duration 
Maximum upstroke velocity MUV (mV/ms)a Maximum of the derivative between maximum diastolic potential and peak potential 
Maximum repolarization rate MRR (mV/ms)a Minimum of the derivative between peak potential and the subsequent maximum diastolic potential
