Electrocardiographic recognition of right ventricular hypertrophy
J Electrocardiol.
2018 Jan-Feb.
Abstract
The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a relatively insensitive tool for the detection of right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH), but some criteria have high specificity. The recommended ECG screening criteria for RVH are not sufficiently sensitive or specific for screening for mild RVH in adults without clinical cardiovascular disease. The greatest accuracy of the ECG is in congenital heart disease, with intermediate accuracy in acquired heart disease and primary pulmonary hypertension in adults.
Keywords: ECG; ECG screening; Right ventricular hypertrophy.
