A left anterior fascicular block, also known as left anterior hemiblock, occurs when the anterior fascicle of the left bundle branch is no longer able to conduct action potentials. The criteria to diagnose a LAFB, or LAHB, on ECG include the following: Left axis deviation of at least -45 degrees.

The abnormal left axis deviation is one of the most common abnormal ECG findings. Among 67,375 Air Force men without symptoms, Hiss and associates found a frontal plane QRS axis of −30 to −90 degrees in 128 (1.9 percent).

How is LVH diagnosed? Left ventricular hypertrophy may be first noticed on an electrocardiogram (EKG). If your doctor sees evidence of LVH on your EKG, you will have an echocardiogram to determine if you have the condition.An echocardiogram is the most common way to determine if a patient has LVH.

The ST segment is the flat, isoelectric section of the ECG between the end of the S wave (the J point) and the beginning of the T wave. The ST Segment represents the interval between ventricular depolarization and repolarization.

When ECG waves are tall, R or S waves may extend into the QRS complexes above or below them. To prevent this superimposition, the whole ECG may be calibrated at 5mm/mV. Some ECG recorders detect tall ECG waves and switch from one calibration to another automatically.

Introduction. The T wave is the most labile wave in the ECG. T wave changes including low-amplitude T waves and abnormally inverted T waves may be the result of many cardiac and non-cardiac conditions. The normal T wave is usually in the same direction as the QRS except in the right precordial leads (see V2 below).

['Right axis deviation of +110° or more.', 'Dominant R wave in V1 (> 7mm tall or R/S ratio > 1).', 'Dominant S wave in V5 or V6 (> 7mm deep or R/S ratio < 1).', 'QRS duration < 120ms (i.e. changes not due to RBBB).']

Conclusion: Upsloping ST depression in resting electrocardiogram may indicate cardiac ischemia in the presence of active cardiac symptoms. In the absence of ongoing symptoms however, it may be secondary to conditions other than ischemia. ST depression after resolution of an episode of supraventricular tachycardia.

The most common test used to diagnose an arrhythmia is an electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG). Your doctor will run other tests as needed. She or he may recommend medicines, placement of a device that can correct an irregular heartbeat, or surgery to repair nerves that are overstimulating the heart.

When the myocardium as abnormally thickened, electrical activity takes longer to traverse throughout the whole heart, thus the duration of the QRS complex may be widened. This is referred to as "LVH with QRS widening".

Additional ECG changes seen in LVH Left atrial enlargement. Left axis deviation. ST elevation in the right precordial leads V1-3 (“discordant” to the deep S waves). Prominent U waves (proportional to increased QRS amplitude).

RBBB is usually an incidental finding on an ECG, which would have been carried out for another reason. However, in the presence of symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath or syncope, it might signify underlying heart or lung disorders such as: Long standing right heart failure.

['Presence of a short PR interval (<120 ms)', 'A wide QRS complex longer than 120 ms with a slurred onset of the QRS waveform, termed a delta wave, in the early part of QRS.', 'Secondary ST-T wave changes (see the image below)']

EKG is also known as an ECG, a 12 lead EKG, or an electrocardiogram.

The standard 12-lead electrocardiogram is a representation of the heart's electrical activity recorded from electrodes on the body surface. This section describes the basic components of the ECG and the lead system used to record the ECG tracings.
