Electrocardiogram signs of right ventricular hypertrophy may help identify pulmonary hypertension in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.
Int J Cardiol Heart Vasc

Department of Cardiology, Sichuan Academy of Medical Sciences and Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, Chengdu, Sichuan 610072, China.
Objective: To the authors' knowledge, limited data are available regarding the association between Electrocardiogram (ECG) signs of right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) and pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We aimed to assess the accuracy of the recommended ECG criteria of RVH for predicting PH in patients with DCM.
Methods: According to the definition of PH (mPAP ≥ 25 mm Hg), 35 patients with DCM were divided into 2 groups: DCM with PH (n = 22) and DCM without PH (n = 13).
Diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy in the presence of left anterior fascicular block: a reexamination of the 2009 AHA/ACCF/HRS guidelines.

Background: The 2009 "AHA/ACCF/HRS Recommendations for Standardization and Interpretation of the Electrocardiogram" state that left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) criteria that include R-wave amplitude in leads I and aVL are not likely reliable in the presence of left anterior fascicular block (LAFB). This statement was referenced to three relatively small studies. The present study reexamines the utility of selected electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria for LVH in the presence of LAFB.
