  2. T wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_wave

    ECG would be abnormal in 75 to 95% of the patients. Characteristic ECG changes would be large QRS complex associated with giant T wave inversion [4] in lateral leads I, aVL, V5, and V6, together with ST segment depression in left ventricular thickening. For right ventricular thickening, T waves are inverted from V2 to V3 leads.

  3. ST depression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_depression

    Also, it can be a normal variant or artifacts, such as: 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:

  4. Right axis deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_axis_deviation

    The pathophysiology depends on the specific cause of right axis deviation. Most causes can be attributed to one of four main mechanisms. [ 14 ] [ 15 ] These include right ventricular hypertrophy , reduced muscle mass of left ventricle, altered conduction pathways and change in the position of the heart in the chest.

  5. Electrocardiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography

    Electrocardiography is the process of producing an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG [a]), a recording of the heart's electrical activity through repeated cardiac cycles. [4] It is an electrogram of the heart which is a graph of voltage versus time of the electrical activity of the heart [ 5 ] using electrodes placed on the skin.

  6. ST elevation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_elevation

    An ST elevation is considered significant if the vertical distance inside the ECG trace and the baseline at a point 0.04 seconds after the J-point is at least 0.1 mV (usually representing 1 mm or 1 small square) in a limb lead or 0.2 mV (2 mm or 2 small squares) in a precordial lead. [2] The baseline is either the PR interval or the TP interval ...

  7. Left axis deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_axis_deviation

    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°.

  8. Right heart strain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_heart_strain

    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] It is non-specific (as it does not indicate a cause) and is present in a minority of PE cases. [12] It can also result from acute changes associated with bronchospasm and ...

  9. Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhythmogenic_cardiomyopathy

    90% of individuals with ARVD have some EKG abnormality. The most common EKG abnormality seen in ACM is T wave inversion in leads V 1 to V 3. However, this is a non-specific finding, and may be considered a normal variant in right bundle branch block (RBBB), women, and children under 12 years old. RBBB itself is seen frequently in individuals ...
