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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A doctor would typically diagnose arrhythmia or ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) on an ECG, with presumptions for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and electrolyte imbalance.

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

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, ...

Athletes with an LVH >12 mm and an abnormal ECG Of the 17 athletes with LVH, only 2 (0.2%) demonstrated a wall thickness that exceeded 13 mm (table 2; athletes 1 and 2). However, both athletes also ...
