If lead b is positive, the electrical heart axis can be estimated to lie within the quadrant between axis of lead a and lead b. A simple tool to quickly identify axis deviation (Figure 3) is the popular mnemonic; Reaching for Right Axis Deviation and Leaving for Left Axis Deviation. This refers to the appearance of leads I and II.
The right ventricle is one of the four chambers of the heart. It is located towards the right lower chamber of the heart and it receives deoxygenated blood from the right upper chamber (right atrium) and pumps blood into the lungs. Since RVH is an enlargement of muscle it arises when the muscle is required to work harder.
An important potential finding with echo is McConnell's sign, where only the RV apex wall contracts; [7] it is specific for right heart strain and typically indicates a large PE. [8] On an electrocardiogram (ECG), there are multiple ways RV strain can be demonstrated. A finding of S1Q3T3 [b] is an insensitive [10] sign of right heart strain. [11]
KTLA -- An Azusa, California, high school student's heart abnormality was discovered after an EKG test in a medical class -- and it may have saved her life. Savannah Rudder's friends and family ...
R or S in limb leads ≥20 mm; S in V 1 or V 2 ≥30 mm; R in V 5 or V 6 ≥30 mm; 3 ST-T Abnormalities: ST-T vector opposite to QRS without digitalis; ST-T vector opposite to QRS with digitalis; 3 1 Negative terminal P mode in V 1 1 mm in depth and 0.04 sec in duration (indicates left atrial enlargement) 3 Left axis deviation (QRS of −30 ...
Pre-excitation syndrome is a heart condition in which part of the cardiac ventricles are activated too early. [1] Pre-excitation is caused by an abnormal electrical connection or accessory pathway between or within the cardiac chambers. Pre-excitation may not cause any symptoms but may lead to palpitations caused by abnormal heart rhythms.
The American Heart Association has defined a LPFB as: [3] Frontal plane axis between 90° and 180° in adults; rS pattern in leads I and aVL; qR pattern in leads III and aVF; QRS duration less than 120 ms; The broad nature of the posterior bundle as well as its dual blood supply [4] makes isolated LPFB rare.

A right bundle branch block typically causes prolongation of the last part of the QRS complex and may shift the heart's electrical axis slightly to the right. The ECG will show a terminal R wave in lead V1 and a slurred S wave in lead I. Left bundle branch block widens the entire QRS, and in most cases shifts the heart's electrical axis to the ...
