similar to that of left ventricular hypertrophy. RVH is diagnosed on ECG in the presence of a R/S ratio of greater than 1 in lead V1 in the absence of other causes, or if the R wave in lead V1 is ...

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 ...

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 left ventricular hypertrophy is strongly associated with stroke independent of common stroke risk factors including hypertension. The mechanisms are currently elusive. Premature complexes ...

In fact, up to 60% of athletes demonstrate ECG changes (in isolation or in combination) such as sinus bradycardia, sinus arrhythmia, first-degree atrioventricular (AV) block, early repolarisation, ...

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 ...

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 ...

CT scans are considered highly accurate for diagnosing left ventricular hypertrophy, or LVH. An electrocardiogram, or EKG, measures electrical activity of a heartbeat; a CT scan uses X-rays to ...

Regardless of extreme body surface area (BSA), no asymptomatic athlete with a negative family history of sudden cardiac death and a normal ECG presented a maximal wall thickness >14 mm. Established ...
