Intro
The primary ECG findings of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) are characterized by increased QRS voltage, repolarization abnormalities (often called the "LV strain pattern"), and supporting structural changes such as left atrial enlargement and left axis deviation. While the ECG has decent specificty for LVH, it has poor sensitivity, meaning it often fails to detect hypertrophy confirmed by imaging.
