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 ...

Similar to AF, LVH by ECG has been considered as one of the strong predicators of stroke and is currently one of the components of the Framingham stroke risk score. Improved ECG-LVH criteria using ...

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 ...

or LVH. An electrocardiogram, or EKG, measures electrical activity of a heartbeat; a CT scan uses X-rays to take clear, detailed images of the heart. The study is being presented at the American ...

These common training-related ECG alterations are physiological adaptations to regular exercise, considered normal variants in athletes, and do not require further evaluation in asymptomatic athletes.

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.

ECG-derived LVH has been strongly linked with the risk of ischemic stroke. [48] LVH also predicts cognitive dysfunction where subclinical stroke is a potential contributor. [49,50] It is even ...
