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.

S in V 1 + R in V 5 or V 6 (whichever is larger) ≥ 35 mm (≥ 7 large squares) R in aVL ≥ 11 mm; The Cornell voltage criteria [13] for the ECG diagnosis of LVH involve measurement of the sum of the R wave in lead aVL and the S wave in lead V 3. The Cornell criteria for LVH are: S in V 3 + R in aVL > 28 mm (men) S in V 3 + R in aVL > 20 mm ...

Strain means Deformation, and is defined as relative change in length.The Lagrangian formula ε L = (L-L 0)/L 0 = ΔL/L 0, where L 0 is baseline length and L is the resulting length, defines strain in relation to the original length as a dimensionless measure, where shortening will be negative, and lengthening will be positive.
