Right Ventricular Hypertrophy Case Studies
Case 1: Obstructive lung disease Tap the arrow to view the case.Obstructive lung disease (COPD), commonly caused by smoking, increases the pulmonary resistance to blood flow from the pulmonary artery. When the resistance to blood flow rises, the pressure builds up in the right ventricle. The increased pressure must be generated by the right ventricle, […]
18. Right Ventricular Hypertrophy
In this material Self-study learning goals Define and identify the following: The normal QRS direction. Describe the pathophysiology of right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH). List the two criteria for diagnosing RVH on the EKG. Identify RVH on the EKG. Describe and identify ST changes in RVH. Describe the EKG findings of RVH in chronic lung disease. […]
Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Worksheets
These worksheets are for self-study only. Answers will not be evaluated. Instructions and examples Instructions for Chapter 17 Worksheets Make basic measurements and evaluate for ischemia, infarction, and atrial abnormality. Diagnose LVH if criteria listed in Chapter 17 are present. Evaluate clinically. Clinically-Based Critical Thinking: Interpretation LVH is present by voltage since RI + […]
Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Case Studies
Case 1: ST segment changes in LVH Tap the arrow to view the case.In LVH (Figure 17.15), the ST segment may point opposite the mean QRS axis (Figure 17.16). This is sometimes referred to as “strain pattern.” These ST segment changes can be seen in the frontal plane, the horizontal plane, or both. In either […]
17. Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
In this material Self-study learning goals Define and identify the following: The normal QRS direction. Describe the pathophysiology of LVH. Describe examples of pressure overload on the left ventricle. Describe examples of volume overload on the left ventricle. List criteria for the diagnosis of LVH on the EKG. Identify LVH on the EKG. Describe and […]
Atrial Abnormalities Worksheets
These worksheets are for self-study only. Answers will not be evaluated. Instructions and examples Instructions for Chapter 16 Worksheets Make basic measurements and evaluate for ischemia and infarction. Diagnose right or left atrial abnormality based on the criteria in Chapter 16. Evaluate clinically. Clinically-Based Critical Thinking: Interpretation Sinus tachycardia is present and suggests sympathetic […]
Atrial Abnormalities Case Studies
Case 1: Mitral stenosis Tap the arrow to view the case.The mitral valve separates the left atrium from the left ventricle. When the valve is stenosed, it becomes constricted and narrows. This interferes with the flow of blood from the left atrium into the left ventricle. This increases the workload of the heart and eventually […]
16. Atrial Abnormalities
In this material Self-study learning goals Describe the normal right and left atrial anatomy. Describe the pathophysiology of right atrial abnormality. Identify right atrial abnormality on the EKG. Describe the pathophysioogy of left atrial abnormality. Identify left atrial abnormality on the EKG. Describe the association of atrial abnormalities with valvular heart disease. Atrial abnormalities: Anatomy […]
