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 activation to pass through ...

Pathologic left ventricular hypertrophy can occur in the setting of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy even in the absence of increased afterload. The ECG findings of left ventricular ...

ECG plays an important role in detection of several stroke risk factors/predictors including atrial fibrillation and left ventricular hypertrophy; both are components of the Framingham Stroke Risk ...

ECG interpretation in athletes requires careful analysis ... training-related findings in athletes such as high QRS amplitude meeting voltage criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy, early ...

Objective: To review the accuracy of electrocardiography in screening for left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with hypertension. Design Systematic review of studies of test accuracy of six ...

Hypertensive patients who develop electrocardiographic strain despite treatment to control their blood pressure are at an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. These findings ...

The resting electrocardiogram (ECG) furnishes essential information for the diagnosis, management, and prognostic evaluation of patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). Almost any ECG ...

However, the abnormal ECG is key to diagnosis and guides ... Established upper limits for physiological cardiac hypertrophy of 14 mm for maximal wall thickness and 65 mm for left ventricular internal ...
