  • Atrial hypertrophy
    • P wave > 0.12

    • In RAH the initial part of the P is enlarged
    • In LAH the trailing part of the P is enlarged
  • Right ventricular hypertrophy:
    • R > S in V1
    • R gets smaller from V1 to V6
    • Wide QRS
  • Left ventricular hypertrophy:
    • S in V1 plus R in V5 > 35 mm
    • R in V5 > 24 mm
