چکیده

Wit/i the collaboration of Charles A. Bertrand, M.D., and Frederick R. Mugler, M.D. Electrocardiographic and vectorcardiographic studies on normal subjects and patients with heart disease suggest that criteria for the diagnosis of right ventricular hypertrophy can be improved and simplified. This report proposes new criteria for the electrocardiographic diagnosis of right ventricular hypertrophy. These criteria decrease the incidence of "false negative" and "false positive" interpretations, and also make possible the recognition of right ventricular hypertrophy in the presence of the R' V1 pattern, provided the QRS duration is less than 0.12 second. The findings and limitations of vectorcardiography in right ventricular hypertrophy and "right bundle-branch block" are discussed.

Significance of complete right bundle-branch block with right axis deviation in absence of right ventricular hypertrophy.

Complete right bundle-branch block with right axis deviation was seen in nine patients who did not have right ventricular hypertrophy, pulmonary disease, or extensive lateral myocardial infarction. Four patients had chronic block and five had acute myocardial infarction. This pattern was attributed to a coexisting block in the right branch and in the inferior division of the left branch. It fre...

Left ventricular activation time in left ventricular hypertrophy and in left bundle-branch block.

Simultaneous tracings of right and left ventricular leads were taken in 6 dogs with experimentally produced left bundle-branch block, and in 30 clinical cases of left ventricular hypertrophy. In the experimental study it was found that the initial phase of the QRS complex in the right epicardial lead did not change its configuration or its duration after the production of left bundle-branch blo...

The electrocardiographic pattern of right ventricular hypertrophy in chronic cor pulmonale.

The electrocardiographic patterns encountered in 28 patients with pulmonary hypertension secondary to chronic lung disease have been studied. Thirteen had neither right ventricular hypertrophy nor right bundle-branch block; eight had either right ventricular hypertrophy alone or right ventricular hypertrophy and right bundle-branch block (complete or incomplete); and seven had incomplete right ...

The role of left ventricular conduction in the electrogenesis of left ventricular hypertrophy. An electrophysiologic study in man.

Various electrocardiographic and vectorcardiographic (ECG-VCG) patterns of ventricular conduction disturbances are inducible by premature right atrial stimulation (PRAS). These patterns are a consequence of different degrees of refractoriness in the specialized ventricular conduction system. We observed that the intermediate phase of left bundle branch block (LBBB) induced by PRAS in 20 subject...
