RIGHT VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHY

Note: mean QRS Vector & Vent Hypertrophy Can't be accurately calculated in the presence of B.B.B. Consider Causes: - HTN - Pulmonary Stenosis - Primary Pulmonary HTN - Long standing CAD - Congenital heart dz: Endocard. Cush Def/Ost. Primum Def Atrial Septal Defect Tetralogy of Fallot / Note: large R wave in V1; / small ?
