Right ventricular hypertrophy: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 03:30, 3 June 2014

RVH is usually associated with Right at real enlargement or Right Ventricular Strain (Deep ST inversions in leads V1-V3)
Dominant R in V1 >7mm
RSR in V1 w/ QRS < 0.12

Criteria are less sensitive and specific than LVH criteria
