Left ventricular hypertrophy can be diagnosed on ECG with good specificity. When the myocardium is hypertrophied, there is a larger mass of myocardium for electrical activation to pass through ...

A doctor would typically diagnose arrhythmia or ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) on an ECG, with presumptions for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and electrolyte imbalance.

The prevalence of LVH in patients with diabetes has varied considerably based on mode of detection and characteristics of the cohort studied. Studies using an ECG to diagnose LVH generally report ...

The resting electrocardiogram (ECG) furnishes essential information for the diagnosis, management, and prognostic evaluation of patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). Almost any ECG ...

In fact, up to 60% of athletes demonstrate ECG changes (in isolation or in combination) such as sinus bradycardia, sinus arrhythmia, first-degree atrioventricular (AV) block, early repolarisation, ...

Athletes with an LVH >12 mm and an abnormal ECG Of the 17 athletes with LVH, only 2 (0.2%) demonstrated a wall thickness that exceeded 13 mm (table 2; athletes 1 and 2). However, both athletes also ...
