Left bundle branch block (LBBB): ECG criteria, causes, management

…and often notched R wave. Leads I and aVL: Similar to V5 and V6. ST T changes : Left sided leads (V5, V6, I and aVL)…

ECG in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH): criteria and implications

…hypertrophy (RVH). The electrical vector of the left ventricle is enhanced in LVH, which results in large R waves in left sided leads (V5, V6…

Biventricular hypertrophy ECG and clinical characteristics

…dilatation Biventricular hypertrophy Simultaneous hypertrophy of the left and right ventricle is rather common. The ECG has low sensitivity with respect to detecting biventricular hypertrophy…

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

…I and aVL displays smaller R waves than normal. Along with larger R waves in right sided leads, the R wave progression may be opposite…

Cardiac Tamponade: Recognition and Pericardiocentesis

…occurs when intrapericardial pressure equals or exceeds right atrial pressure. The haemodynamic consequences are progressive impairment of right and left sided filling, reduced stroke volume…

Pulmonary Hypertension: Classification and Treatment Principles

…It may arise from pulmonary vascular disease, left sided cardiac disease, chronic lung disease or hypoxia, chronic thromboembolic obstruction, or a range of miscellaneous conditions…

Right Ventricular Infarction: Recognition and Haemodynamic Management

…modest left sided congestion—is an important clinical clue. Haemodynamic severity The presentation may range from mild right ventricular impairment to cardiogenic shock. Patients with…

Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection

…solely as an isolated coronary event. SCAD predominantly affects the left sided coronary circulation and may involve multiple vessels. Pregnancy associated SCAD can occur at…

Diuretic Strategy and Decongestion in Heart Failure

…pressures with systemic congestion. Interventricular dependence may impair left ventricular filling and reduce systemic output. In this setting, venous congestion is generally treated initially with…

Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: Diagnosis and Treatment

…of mitral regurgitation is associated with worse outcomes. Pulmonary hypertension secondary to left heart disease may occur because elevated left sided filling pressures are transmitted…
