Key result
Among 12 cases meeting electrocardiographic criteria for right ventricular hypertrophy, 8 (66.7%) demonstrated anatomical right ventricular hypertrophy at autopsy.
Why the study?
Do Sokolow and Lyon ECG criteria accurately predict anatomical right ventricular hypertrophy at autopsy?
Observational (n=12)
Do Sokolow and Lyon ECG criteria accurately predict anatomical right ventricular hypertrophy at autopsy?
Factors other than muscle mass likely contribute significantly to the electrocardiographic pattern of right ventricular hypertrophy, as only 8 of 12 cases meeting ECG criteria had anatomical hypertrophy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
ECG criteria for RVH show limited anatomic correlation; leaves open non-mass factors in pressure overload.
WALKER et al. (1955) conducted an observational in Right ventricular hypertrophy (n=12). Electrocardiographic criteria for right ventricular hypertrophy was evaluated on Anatomical right ventricular hypertrophy at autopsy. Among 12 cases meeting electrocardiographic criteria for right ventricular hypertrophy, 8 (66.7%) demonstrated anatomical right ventricular hypertrophy at autopsy.
