BACKGROUND: Recommendations for the interpretation of electrocardiogram have been published in 2009. The aim of this study was to define the prevalence of intraventricular conduction disturbances (ICoDs) in a large population, using these recommendations.METHODS: From 01/31/1996 to 09/22/2010, an el

There is a sinus P wave in front of each QRS, and the rate is 122 beats/min. The QRS voltage is large and meets many criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy: RI > 13 mm (1.3 mV); RaVF > 19 mm; SaVR > 14 mm; SV1 > 24 mm; SV2 > 30 mm; RV6 > 26 mm; RV6 > RV5; SV1 + RV5 or RV6 &gt

The extent of left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony might not be comparable between right ventricular pacing-induced left bundle branch block (RV-LBBB) and idiopathic LBBB (iLBBB), despite the morphologic analogy on the electrocardiogram. The objectives of the present study were to elucidate the differ
