Background In athletes, ECG changes from physiological cardiac remodelling are common but can overlap with findings from a pathological disorder. We compared ECG findings in a group of elite high ...

Right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) occurs when the right ventricular wall thickens due to chronic pressure overload, similar to that of left ventricular hypertrophy. Right ventricular hypertrophy is ...

WHEN medical terminology was less precise the expression "strained heart" was employed at times to describe obscurely but ominously diseased hearts. This diagnosis is no longer made, but currently the ...

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is the most frequent end-organ damage in patients with hypertension, leading to a 5–10-fold increase in cardiovascular risk. It is a strong predictor of ...

Background Interpretation of the athlete’s ECG is based on differentiation between benign ECG changes and potentially pathological abnormalities. The aim of the study was to compare the 2010 European ...

NEW YORK — The international criteria for electrocardiography (ECG) interpretation in athletes perform better than prior iterations in predominantly African American National Basketball Association ...

ECG-derived LVH has been strongly linked with the risk of ischemic stroke. [48] LVH also predicts cognitive dysfunction where subclinical stroke is a potential contributor. [49,50] It is even included ...

If it’s important that an ECG is done, it’s important that it’s legible. Asking patients to hold their breath for a couple of seconds can help, or if fine tremor is a problem, try moving the limb ...

Your heart is divided into a left and a right side. The right side of your heart pumps blood to your lungs to receive oxygen. The left side pumps the oxygenated blood to the rest of your body. Right ...
