Left ventricular hypertrophy with secondary repolarization abnormalities as seen on ECG Histopathology of (a) normal myocardium and (b) myocardial hypertrophy. Scale bar indicates 50 μm. Gross pathology of left ventricular hypertrophy. Left ventricle is at right in image, serially sectioned from apex to near base.
The clinician must therefore be well versed in recognizing the so-called ECG mimics of acute myocardial infarction, which include left ventricular hypertrophy, left bundle branch block, paced rhythm, early repolarization, pericarditis, hyperkalemia, and ventricular aneurysm.

The Women's Health Initiative study concluded that a wide SA was the strongest predictor for incident coronary heart failure risk and a dominant risk factor for all cause mortality compared to several other ECG parameters. [12] The SA also increases accuracy of diagnosing left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Using only conventional ECG criteria ...
An unusually tall QRS complex may represent left ventricular hypertrophy while a very low-amplitude QRS complex may represent a pericardial effusion or infiltrative myocardial disease. 80 to 100 ms J-point: The J-point is the point at which the QRS complex finishes and the ST segment begins. The J-point may be elevated as a normal variant.
Ventricular hypertrophy (VH) is thickening of the walls of a ventricle (lower chamber) of the heart. [ 1 ] [ better source needed ] Although left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is more common, right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH), as well as concurrent hypertrophy of both ventricles can also occur.
The diagnosis of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction is usually made by echocardiographic assessment and is defined as a peak left ventricular outflow tract gradient of ≥ 30 mmHg. [ 35 ] Another, non-obstructive variant of HCM is apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy ( AHCM or ApHCM ), [ 37 ] also called Yamaguchi syndrome .
LVM increases withe ageing, though ageing related remodeling of the left ventricle's geometry can lead to a discordancy between CT and echocardiographic based measurements of LVM. [3] Published normal ranges for LVMi are 49–115 g/m 2 for men and 43–95 g/m 2 for women. [1] [4] left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is defined as an abnormal ...
EKG depiction of left ventricular hypertrophy. Left ventricular hypertrophy is a leading cause of sudden cardiac deaths in the adult population. [39] [30] This is most commonly the result of longstanding high blood pressure, or hypertension, which has led to maladaptive overgrowth of muscular tissue of the left ventricle, the heart's main ...
