Right ventricular hypertrophy occurs when the right ventricular wall thickens due to chronic pressure overload, similar to that of left ventricular hypertrophy. RVH is diagnosed on ECG in the ...

Perhaps most importantly, the International Criteria guideline provides a clear link between specific ECG abnormalities and the recommended next steps for secondary testing. The presence of high QRS ...

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 ... passage from the right-sided circulation.

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

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 ...

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 ...
