Dr. Rahr: Peaked P in leads II, III, AVF, >2.5 mm tall
Term
Left Atrial Hypertrophy
Definition
Pg. 249
Large, diphasic P wave with wide terminal component.
Dr. Rahr- M shaped P wave in lead II, Pwave is wide (3 boxes), .04 sec between peaks, Diphasic humps in V1 (1mm x 1mm is large
Term
Right Ventricular Hypertrophy
Definition
Pg. 250-252
1)R wave greater than S in V1, but wave gets progressively smaller from V1-V6.
2)S wave persists in V5 and V6
3)R.A.D with slightly widened QRS
4)Rightward rotation in the horizontal plane.
Dr. Rahr: Tall R wave in V1 7m> and R:S>1
Term
Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
Definition
Pg. 253-257
S wave in V1 (in mm) +R wave in V5 (in mm)= sum in mm is more than 35 mm with LVH.
LAD with slightly widened QRS, Leftward rotation in the horizontal plane. (Inverted T wave: Slants downward gradually, but up rapidly.
Dr. Rahr: S wave V1 + Rwave in V5 or V6 (largest) = 25 mm, for people under 30=55mm LVH
