Pseudo-ST-depression, which is a wandering baseline due to poor skin contact of the electrode [3] Physiologic J-junctional depression with sinus tachycardia [3] Hyperventilation [3] Horizontal ST depression in V4, V5, V6 leads during a cardiac stress ECG. Other, non-ischemic, causes include: Side effect of digoxin [4] [3] Hypokalemia [4] [3]
In electrocardiography, a strain pattern is a well-recognized marker for the presence of anatomic left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in the form of ST depression and T wave inversion on a resting ECG. [1] It is an abnormality of repolarization and it has been associated with an adverse prognosis in a variety heart disease patients.
Schematic representation of normal ECG. In electrocardiography, the ST segment connects the QRS complex and the T wave and has a duration of 0.005 to 0.150 sec (5 to 150 ms). It starts at the J point (junction between the QRS complex and ST segment) and ends at the beginning of the T wave.
The hexaxial reference system is a diagram that is used to determine the heart's electrical axis in the frontal plane.. In electrocardiography, left axis deviation (LAD) is a condition wherein the mean electrical axis of ventricular contraction of the heart lies in a frontal plane direction between −30° and −90°.
Diagnosis is based on an ECG showing ST-segment depression at the J-point of 1 to 3 mm in leads V1 to V6, with tall and symmetrical T waves. [1] The ST-segment is upsloping and there is also often ST-segment elevation of 0.5 to 2 mm in lead aVR. [1] [2] The QRS complex is either normal or slightly wide. [1]
proportionally excessively discordant ST elevation in V1-V4, as defined by an ST/S ratio of equal to or more than 0.20 and at least 2 mm of STE. (this replaces Sgarbossa criterion 3 which uses an absolute of 5mm) Wackers et al. correlated ECG changes in LBBB with localization of the infarct by thallium scintigraphy. [7]
Under these criteria, an ECG is positive for an AMI in the presence of LBBB if any of the following criteria are present: ST deviation ≥1 mm (0.1 mV) concordant with QRS polarity in any ECG lead, thus including either: ST depression ≥1 mm (0.1 mV) concordant with QRS polarity, in any ECG lead.
Using only conventional ECG criteria to diagnose LVH the diagnostic accuracy was 57%, however the inclusion of the SA significantly improved the diagnostic accuracy to 79%. [ 14 ] The SA is not routinely measured in clinical ECG examination even though the computerized vectorcardiography software is widely available, efficient and is not ...
