Determining LVH 1 - Left Ventricular Hypertrophy.

Step 1

Determining the presence of LVH is a fairly simple and straight forward three-step process.

• Refer to leads V1 & V2
• Measure and select the deepest ventricular depolarization of the 2 views (not including aberrant complexes)
• Measure from the isoelectric line down to the tip of the deepest QS complex.
• Measure from the isoelectric line down to the tip of the deepest QS complex.
• Write this number down
