A method for the electrocardiographic recognition of atrial enlargement.
نویسندگان
چکیده
New criteria for the electrocardiographic recognition of right atrial enlargement, left atrial enlargement, and combined atrial enlargement were studied in 110 patients with congenital and acquired heart disease. Precise physiologic data weife available in all cases. The method of analysis was designed for application to conventional scalar electrocardiography and hence can be used without modification for routine clinical

The Value of the Macruz Index in the Diagnosis
THE electrocardiographic diagnosis of atrial enlargement is a common problem. The established criteria, based on voltage, configuration, and duration of the P wave, very often fail to confirm the diagnosis even in cases of known atrial enlargement. In 1958, Macruz, Perloff, and Case1 proposed a simple formula for electrocardiographic recognition of right, left, and combined atrial enlargement. ...

متن کاملLeft atrial enlargement. Echocardiographic assessment of electrocardiographic criteria.
A comparison of electrocardiographic manifestations of left atrial enlargement (LAE) and left atrial size by echocardiography was made in 307 patients in sinus rhythm. Electrocardiographic criteria used were L:P wave duration in lead II equal to or greater than 0.12 sec; Va: the ratio of the duration of negative terminal P in V1 to the P-R segment equal to or greater than 1.0; Vb: a negative P ...
متن کاملCorrelation between Mean Serum Ferritin Levels and Atrial Electrocardiographic Markers in Beta-Thalassemia Major
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in patients with β-thalassemia major (β-TM) due to cardiac iron overload. AF may be predicted by changes in P wave parameters. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between P-wave parameters and atrial markers with mean serum ferritin levels measured yearly. Methods: Fifty patients with β-TM and 50 healthy subje...
متن کاملElectrocardiographic manifestation of digoxin toxicity in a Pomeranian dog
This case report describes several electrocardiographic findings in an 8-years old female Pomeranian dog that was referred with a history of digoxin overdose. Electrocardiographic abnormalities detected in this case could be classified as primary electrocardiographic disturbances, reflecting cardiac chamber enlargement and secondary ECG changes, attributed to digoxin toxicity. ECG manifestatio...
