The electrocardiograms of 22 cases showing isolated right ventricular hypertrophy at autopsy were examined for changes suggestive of right ventricular hypertrophy. Only 5 of 22 cases fulfilled at least one of the criteria of Sokolow and Lyon and only three could be diagnosed as having right ventricular hypertrophy by the criteria of Myers, Klein and Stofer. Factors contributing to the developme...

The electrocardiograms in 32 patients with mitral valve disease have been compared with the pulmonary resistances, the pulmonary artery pressures, and the size of the mitral valve orifice. In patients with pure stenosis if the electrocardiogram showed the pattern of right ventricular hyper-trophy the total pulmonary resistance was usually 1000 dynes seconds cm.-5 or greater. If mitral insuffici...

Figure 1 Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE). Two-dimensional TEE without (A) and with color (B) showing subarterial VSD (red arrow) and hypertrophy of the basal septum (white arrow) below the VSD. The defect was w5 mm in size and hemodynamically benign as the pulmonary to systematic blood flow ratio (Qp/Qs) was calculated from cardiac catheterization data to be 1.6:1. The ascending aorta was ...
