Poor R-wave progression.
نویسنده
چکیده
Poor R-wave progression is a common ECG pattern, which is often inconclusively interpreted by medical directors. Although this ECG pattern is commonly attributed to anterior myocardial infarction, it may also be caused by left bundle branch block, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, right and left ventricular hypertrophy as well as by faulty ECG recording technique. Failure to make a definitive interpretation of this pattern may result in a delay or loss of business.

Electrocardiographic Poor R - Wave
Electrocardiographic criteria have been derived from vectorcardiographic and angiographic correlation which allow division of patients with electrocardiographic “poor R-wave progression” or “reversed K-wave progression” into the following four etiologic groups: (1) anterior myocardial infarction; (2) left ventricular hypertrophy; (3) type-C right ventricular hypertrophy; and (4) the normal vari...
متن کاملPoor R wave progression in the precordial leads: clinical implications for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction.
A definite diagnosis of anterior myocardial infarction is often difficult to make in patients when a pattern of poor R wave progression in the precordial leads is present on the electrocardiogram. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a mathematical model could be devised to identify patients with anterior infarction among 102 consecutive patients with poor R wave progression. Each...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of poor R-wave progression in electrocardiograms for diabetic cardiomyopathy in type 2 diabetic patients.
BACKGROUND Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCMP) is a common complication of diabetes and is associated with increased mortality. It has been suggested that a poor R-wave progression in a resting electrocardiogram (ECG) could be a sign of cardiomyopathy. HYPOTHESIS The aim of this study was primarily to analyze the relationship between poor R-wave progression and DCMP, and the effect of poor R-wave ...
متن کاملPoor R-wave progression and myocardial infarct size after anterior myocardial infarction in the coronary intervention era
BACKGROUND Regeneration of R-wave or disappearance of Q-wave sometimes occurs after myocardial infarction (MI) especially in the coronary intervention era. We assessed the impact of poor R-wave progression (PRWP) or residual R-wave in precordial leads on myocardial infarct size in patients with prior anterior MI treated with coronary intervention. METHODS Fifty-three patients with prior anter...
متن کاملPoor R-wave progression in the precordial leads in left-sided spontaneous pneumothorax.
A 30-year-old man without any cardiovascular history was transferred to our hospital because of chest pain. On arrival, his blood pressure was 166/93 mm Hg, with a pulse rate of 58 bpm. His oxygen saturation level was 98%. His ECG showed normal sinus rhythm, with poor R-wave progression in the precordial leads (Figure, A). The white blood cell count was 7990/mm, and the level of creatine kinase...
