Hypertrophy Flashcards
Right atrial hypertrophy will display as
Peaked T waves
Right ventricle hypertrophy will display as
Tall R waves in lead V1
T wave inversion in leads V1 and a V2 and sometimes an V 3 and even V 4 may indicate
Right ventricle hypertrophy
Right ventricle hypertrophy may display as what kind a wave in V6?
Deep S waves
Right axis deviation may be a sign of
Right ventricle hypertrophy
Sometimes a right bundle branch block may indicate
Right ventricle hypertrophy
Left ATRIAL hypertrophy is indicated by
bifid waves
R waves in lead V5 or V6 greater than 25 MM may indicate
Left ventricle hypertrophy
R waves in lead V5 or V6 plus S waves in lead V 1 or V2 greater than 35 mm may indicate
left ventricular hypertrophy
Inverted T waves in leads I, VL, V5-V6, and sometimes V4 may indicate
left ventricle hypertrophy
Left ventricular hypertrophy causes a tall
R wave that greater than 25 MM in the leads V5 or V6.
In practice, voltage changes alone are
Unhelpful in diagnosing left ventricular enlargement
With significant hypertrophy, there are also converted T waves in leads
1, VL, V5, and V6 and sometimes V4
It is difficult to diagnose______of left ventricular hypertrophy Ekg
minor degrees with
What is the SOKOLW-LYON criteria?
It states that left ventricular hypertrophy is present when the sum of the R wave height in lead V5 or V6 plus the depth of the S wave in lead V1 exceeds 35 MM.
