Figure 1 Method for calculating conduction velocity. Diagram shows three electrodes and their associated activation times (T1 to T3). Interval X represents the time taken for the activation wavefront to travel the interelectrode distance in the direction of propagation of the wavefront (geometric proof not shown). Therefore, the conduction velocity in the direction of propagation is the interelectrode distance divided by interval X.
