U wave
ECG waveform thought to represent repolarization of the Purkinje fibers
The U wave is a wave on an electrocardiogram (ECG). It comes after the T wave of ventricular repolarization and may not always be observed as a result of its small size. 'U' waves are thought to represent repolarization of the Purkinje fibers. However, the exact source of the U wave remains unclear.

From Wikipedia
The U wave is a wave on an electrocardiogram (ECG). It comes after the T wave of ventricular repolarization and may not always be observed as a result of its small size. 'U' waves are thought to represent repolarization of the Purkinje fibers. However, the exact source of the U wave remains unclear. The most common theories for the origin are: Delayed repolarization of Purkinje fibers Prolonged re-polarisation of mid-myocardial M-cells After-potentials resulting from mechanical forces in the ventricular wall The repolarization of the papillary muscle.
