======EKG Criteria====== ===== LV Hypertrophy ===== Diagnostic criteria * Sokolow and Lyon – S in V1 + R wave in V5 or V6 ≥ 35 mm. * Cornell – R in aVL + S wave in V3 > 28 mm for men, or > 20 mm for women * Roberts – QRS voltage in all leads > 175 to 225 mm. * Scott * Limb leads: * R in I + S in 3 more than 25 mm * R in aVL more than 11 mm or >18 mm if left axis is present * R in aVF more than 20 mm * S in aVR more than 14 mm * Chest leads: * S in V1 or V2 + R in V5 or V6 more than 35 mm * R in V5 or V6 more than 26 mm * R + S in any V lead more than 45 mm * [[https://www.uptodate.com/contents/image?imageKey=CARD%2F51012&topicKey=CARD%2F2123&source=see_link|Romhilt-Estes scoring system]] — A score of 5 or more indicates "definite" LVH; a score of 4 indicates "probable" LVH. ===== RV Hypertrophy ===== * R > S in V1 (suggestive); exclude other causes * Right bundle branch block * Posterior wall MI * WPW * Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy * Early precordial transition * Other clues to diagnosis: * Right axis deviation (>+90) * R in V1 >6 mm * R in V1 + S in V5 or V6 >10.5 mm * R/S ratio in V1 >1 * S/R ratio in V6 >1 * Late intrinsicoid deflection in V1 (>0.035 sec) * Incomplete right bundle branch block * ST-T wave abnormalities ("strain") in inferior leads * Right atrial hypertrophy/overload (“P pulmonale”) * S>R in leads I, II, III, particularly in children (S1S2S3 pattern)
