…artery. Depending on the size and form of the thrombus, it will occlude the main pulmonary artery or its branches. The larger the thrombus, the…

The QRS complex: ECG features of the Q-wave, R-wave, S-wave & duration

…vector resulting from activation of the right ventricle does not come to expression , because it is drowned by the many times larger vector generated by…

Right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH): ECG criteria & clinical characteristics

…hypertrophy (LVH) and right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH). The electrical vector of the left ventricle is enhanced in LVH, which results in large R waves in…

Atrial and ventricular enlargement: hypertrophy and dilatation on ECG

…cannot distinguish whether large QRS amplitudes are due to dilatation or hypertrophy. Because the majority of the literature in the field of electrocardiology has focused…

Left atrial enlargement (P mitrale) & right atrial enlargement (P pulmonale) on ECG

…Hypertrophy and dilatation Atrial enlargement: left atrial enlargement (P mitrale) and right atrial enlargement (P pulmonale) The atria may become dilated and/or hypertrophic during…

Right bundle branch block (RBBB): ECG, criteria, definitions, causes & treatment

The physiology of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)

…VT]). The VF waveform is initially coarse ( i.e fibrillatory waves have large amplitudes) but as the duration of VF is prolonged, the amplitude gradually…

ECG interpretation: Characteristics of the normal ECG (P-wave, QRS complex, ST segment, T-wave)

…many times larger than the vector generated by the right ventricle, the QRS complex is actually a reflection of left ventricular depolarization. QRS duration is…
