In electrocardiography, left axis deviation (LAD) is a condition wherein the mean electrical axis of ventricular contraction of the heart lies in a frontal plane direction between −30° and −90°.
8 Οκτ 2024 · ECG features and causes of left axis deviation (LAD) using the hexaxial reference system. QRS axis between -30 and -90 degrees
Causes of Left Axis Deviation. Note that the first three account for almost 90% of EKG tracings with left-axis deviation. Normal variation: elderly or obese patients. Left ventricular hypertrophy. Left anterior fascicular block. Left bundle branch block. Inferior wall myocardial infarction. Ventricular ectopic rhythms (e.g., ventricular ...
5 Νοε 2024 · ECG features suggestive of LV dilation (dilated cardiomyopathy) LVH is a bit of a misnomer because this actually reflects increased left ventricular mass (due to increased wall thickness or chamber dilation). The following features may suggest LV chamber dilation: Reduction in R-wave of left precordial leads.
8 Ιαν 2024 · Identify the key components of electrical axis deviation on an electrocardiogram. Differentiate between right-axis deviation and left-axis deviation based on electrocardiogram patterns. Apply knowledge of vector analysis to interpret electrocardiograms and determine the electrical axis.
1 Ιαν 2018 · In this condition there is a swing of the cardiac axis to the left - ie less than minus 30 degrees. It is usually the result of a left anterior hemiblock rather than to the increased bulk of muscle of the left ventricle. Other causes include: inferior myocardial infarction; ventricular pre-excitation; hyperkalaemia; tricuspid atresia
• The most common causes of left axis deviation are an inferior myocardial infarction, age-related degeneration of the left anterior hemifascicle, left bundle branch block, ventricular pacing and cardiomyopathy. • Left axis deviation should always prompt consideration of underlying cardiomyopathy. • Isolated left axis deviation may be
