Intro to EKG Interpretation - Chamber Enlargement

Learn to interpret EKG signs of chamber enlargement in this 30-minute video. Explore the differences between enlargement and hypertrophy, and examine specific criteria for identifying right and left atrial enlargement. Understand the test characteristics of EKG criteria for atrial enlargement and secondary repolarization abnormalities. Delve into intrinsicoid deflection and EKG findings of ventricular hypertrophy. Study diagnostic criteria for right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH), including the COPD variant, and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Familiarize yourself with the Romhilt-Estes point system for LVH and factors affecting its diagnosis by EKG. For optimal viewing, select 1080p resolution.
