ECG manifestations of left main coronary artery (LMCA) occlusion and critical stenosis

…some patients present with severe LMCA stenosis exacerbated by other conditions, and these must also be recognized. Prompt identification of LMCA involvement is therefore critical…

Pulmonary stenosis

…syndrome : 60% of all individuals with Noonan syndrome have pulmonic stenosis. The stenosis is subvalvular, causing a narrowing of the RVOT (right ventricular outflow tract…

Right ventricular strain: definition, causes, echocardiography

…pulmonic stenosis. Heart rate . Synchronicity : Optimal contraction requires the majority of all ventricular myocardium to contract simultaneously. For this to be possible, the right leg…

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

…of the great arteries, pulmonary valve stenosis, atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect), tricuspid valve regurgitation are the most common causes. ECG changes in right…

Mitral valve stenosis

…right ventricle and right atrium, leading to right heart hypertrophy, dilation and ultimately right heart failure. Echocardiography in mitral stenosis Echocardiographic assessment of mitral stenosis…

Tricuspid stenosis

…significant stenosis. Tricuspid stenosis results in increased right atrial pressure, which subsequently causes right atrial dilation. Vena cava inferior may also dilate secondarily. Principles of…

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

…the right atrium is commonly a consequence of increased resistance to empty blood into the right ventricle. This may be due to pulmonary valve stenosis…

Aortic stenosis

…resistance increases, making it more difficult to eject blood into the aorta. In the early stages of aortic stenosis, stroke volume becomes smaller. Reduced stroke…

The electrical axis of the heart (ECG axis)

…Causes of right axis deviation Normal in newborns. Right ventricular hypertrophy. Acute cor pulmonale (pulmonary embolism). Chronic cor pulmonale (COPD, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary valve stenosis…

The electrical axis of the heart (heart axis): ECG & physiology
