The chest leads also reflect the balance between the right and left sides of the heart:
V1 and V2 - right chest
V5 and V6 - left chest
V3 - V4 - transition zone
normal electrical axis
Left ventricular hypertrophy
-An increase in the amplitude of the R waves in V5 and V6 (it is higher than in V4), and S in V1 and V2, R in I and R in aVL.
-QRS width grows = 0.10 - 0.12 s
-Deviation of the electrical axis of the heart to the left (angle α <0º).
R I> R II> R III, high R in lead I and deep S in III.
-An increase in the time of internal deviation in V5, V6 leads (from the beginning of the R wave to its apex)> 0.05 s.
-With severe left ventricular hypertrophy: ST segment in I, AVL, V5, V6 below the isoline ("trough-shaped"), T is negative.
-Displacement of the transition zone to the right chest leads.
Sokolov - Lyon amplitude criteria.
R in I> 15 mm; R in I + S in III (or II)> 25 mm.
R in aVL> 11 mm.
R in V5 or V6> 25 mm.
R in V5 or V6 + S in V1 or V2> 35 mm.
