LVH and the ECG

Which ECG signs are typical in patients with myocardial hypertrophy?

  1. QRS complex: A higher RS amplitude and a widening of the QRS complex.
  2. The electrical heart axis becomes directed towards the hypertrophied ventricle. Therefore left ventricular hypertrophy will lead to left axis deviation, while right ventricular hypertrophy will lead to right axis deviation.
