similar to that of left ventricular hypertrophy. RVH is diagnosed on ECG in the presence of a R/S ratio of greater than 1 in lead V1 in the absence of other causes, or if the R wave in lead V1 is ...

Left ventricular hypertrophy can be diagnosed on ECG with good specificity. When the myocardium is hypertrophied, there is a larger mass of myocardium for electrical activation to pass through ...

Hypertensive patients who develop electrocardiographic strain despite treatment to control their blood pressure are at an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. These findings ...

ECG left ventricular hypertrophy is strongly associated with stroke independent of common stroke risk factors including hypertension. The mechanisms are currently elusive. Premature complexes ...

ECG plays an important role in detection of several stroke risk factors/predictors including atrial fibrillation and left ventricular hypertrophy; both are components of the Framingham Stroke Risk ...

Purpose To investigate cardiac structure in professional male athletes with a BSA>2.3 m 2, and to assess the validity of established upper normal limits for physiological cardiac hypertrophy. Results ...

If you're on a quest for hypertrophy, or maximum muscle growth, it's not just about lifting weights. Science shows that one ...

Objective: To review the accuracy of electrocardiography in screening for left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with hypertension. Design Systematic review of studies of test accuracy of six ...

Conclusions: RT induces larger increases in SM mass than in FFM. RT induced muscle hypertrophy does not occur uniformly throughout each individual muscle or region of the body. Therefore the ...

Uncovertebral joint hypertrophy is a condition in which the uncovertebral joints (sometimes referred to as Luschka joints) in ...

CT scans are considered highly accurate for diagnosing left ventricular hypertrophy, or LVH. An electrocardiogram, or EKG, measures electrical activity of a heartbeat; a CT scan uses X-rays to ...
