The Vectorcardiogram of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
نویسنده
چکیده
DESPITE several studies, no definitive criteria for the vectorcardiographic diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) have been proposed. Some reports have been limited to the analysis of cases of the systolic overload type of LVH' while others have failed to define specific criteria for the diagnosis or have emphasized the wide overlap of the findings in LVH with those of the normal population.1-3 We have employed the vectorcardiogram (VCG) in the study of LVH, utilizing a group of patients with hypertrophy of the left ventricle secondary to the wide variety of causes commonly encountered in clinical practice. Attention has been focused on certain salient qualitative and quantitative features of the VCG in LVH and on the basis of these characteristics, identifiable without painstaking and elaborate measurements, we propose specific criteria for the vectorcardiographic recognition of LVH.

The Frank system vectorcardiogram has been studied in 61 patients with severe mitral valve disease to determine the value of the vectorcardiogram in the recognition of the relative degree of left and right ventricular hypertrophy in this situation. The appearance of the usual evidence of right ventricular hypertrophy is delayed in mitral valve disease by the vertical electrical position of the ...

Effect of Carvacrol on Catalase Activity and mRNA Expression Following Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Rats
Background and Aims: Cardiac hypertrophy is a compensatory augmentation response of the heart due to pressure overload that can lead to heart failure. Carvacrol is considered as the major compound of many plants, that possesses strong antioxidant properties. The present study aimed to evaluate effect of carvacrol on catalase activity and mRNA expression following left ventricular hypertrop...
