ECG in Right Ventricular Hypertrophy

Electrocardiographic Features of Right Ventricular Hypertrophy (RVH) Right Ventricular Hypertrophy results in the generation of increased QRS forces that are basically directed anteriorly and to the right. Features of ECG in Right Ventricular Hypertrophy will be covered in this article. ECG in Right Ventricular Hypertrophy may indicate involvement one or more of three major regions- …

ECG Axis Interpretation

ECG Axis Interpretation Axis interpretation using the schematic illustration demonstrates the relationship between QRS axis and the frontal leads of the ECG. Normal Axis = QRS axis between -30° and +90°.Left Axis Deviation = QRS axis less than -30°.Right Axis Deviation = QRS axis greater than +90°.Extreme Axis Deviation = QRS axis between -90° and …
