  3. 4.0.0 Ventricular Hypertrophy
  4. 4.2.0 Right Ventricular Hypertrophy (frame 21)

4.2.11 (frame 34)

The second category of electrocardiographic changes indicative of right ventricular hypertrophy is that associated with mild to moderate pulmonary hypertension. The ECG shown here and on the following 2 pages is from a 48 year old woman with mitral stenosis. Her pulmonary artery pressure was 45/29 and her right ventricular pressure was 45/7. As you study this tracing, pay particular attention to the P waves, particularly in leads I, II and V1, the P, QRS and T wave axes in the frontal plane, the amplitude of the S wave in leads V1, and the R to S wave ratio in leads V1 and V6.
