Right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH): ECG criteria & clinical characteristics

Right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH): ECG criteria & clinical characteristics

ECG and clinical characteristics in right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) Figure 1.  ECG  changes seen in  left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH)  and right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH). The  electrical vector  of the left ventricle is enhanced in LVH, which results in large R-waves in left-sided leads (V5, V6, aVL and I) and deep S-waves in right-sided  chest leads  (V1, V2). Right ventricular hypertrophy causes large R-waves in right-sided chest leads and deeper S-waves in left-sided leads. Right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH)
