2024年10月10日 · A review of ECG features of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), including voltage and non-voltage criteria

ECG changes in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH). The electrical vector of the left ventricle is enhanced in LVH, which results in large R-waves in left-sided leads (V5, V6, aVL and I) and deep S-waves in right-sided chest leads (V1, V2).

The traditional approach to the ECG diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is focused on the best estimation of left ventricular mass (LVM) i.e. finding ECG criteria that agree with LVM as detected by imaging.

2025年3月17日 · Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a genetic disease that causes left ventricular hypertrophy, especially septal hypertrophy, in young patients without pressure overload. LVH often progresses to severe and serious complications such as left ventricular outflow tract obstructions, ischemic heart disease or arrhythmias.

2022年7月1日 · Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) diagnosed electrographically is recognized as a significant cardiovascular risk factor and the sign of organ damage in hypertensive patients [1]. However, the reasoning for using ECG for LVH diagnosis is questionable – frequently referring to its low cost and availability.

Current electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria for the diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) have low sensitivity. The goal of this study was to test a new method to improve the diagnostic performance of the electrocardiogram. The study was divided into 2 groups, a test and a validation cohort.

2025年2月14日 · Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) refers to an increase in the size of myocardial fibers in the main cardiac pumping chamber. Such hypertrophy is usually the response to a chronic pressure or volume load. The two most common pressure overload states are systemic hypertension and aortic stenosis.

The Peguero-Lo Presti criteria are novel electrocardiographic (ECG) diagnostic criteria for the detection of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and represent the sum of the amplitude of the deepest S wave in any lead with the S wave in lead V4 ...

Left ventricular hypertrophy can be diagnosed on ECG with good specificity. When the myocardium is hypertrophied, there is a larger mass of myocardium for electrical...
