Left ventricular hypertrophy due to diastolic overload is characterized by the following in lead V6: (a) tall R wave; (b) prominent initial Q wave; (c) minimally elevated concave-upward ST segment; and (d) relatively tall symmetrical T wave. Reciprocal deep S waves are seen in lead V1. This study reflects a further evaluation of these parameters in the four main causes of left ventricular diast...
متن کاملUsefulness of the 12-lead electrocardiogram in the follow-up of patients with cardiac resynchronization devices. Part I.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has added a new dimension to the electrocardiographic evaluation of pacemaker function. During left ventricular (LV) pacing from the posterior or posterolateral coronary vein, a correctly positioned lead V1 registers a tall R wave and there is right axis deviation in the frontal plane with few exceptions. During simultaneous biventricular stimulation from...
متن کاملLead aVR--the neglected lead.
The aVR is often neglected lead. It is an unipolar lead facing the right superior surface. As all the depolarisations are going away from lead aVR, all waves are negative in aVR (P, QRS, T) in normal sinus rhythm. In dextrocardia, (True and technical) the p is upright in aVR. The lead aVR is a very important lead in localisation of Coronary Artery Disease. In the presence of anterior ST elevati...

Introduction : Hyperkalemia is a common disorder among renal failure patients and is considered as an important internal medicine emergency. On the other hand, considering the non-specific symptoms of hyperkalemia and its similarity to the underlying diseases’ symptoms, the occurrence of dangerous side effects is probable. One of the most important effects is on myocardium. Considering the im...
