RVH
Report:
Sinus rhythm 70/min
Right axis deviation + 130o
qRV1 – right ventricular hypertrophy
Comment:
Most ECGs looking like this would suggest primary pulmonary hypertension, especially in a young woman. The heart has a limited repertoire: this example of RVH is the result of the RV being the systemic ventricle, due to congenital transposition (TGA) treated – now decades ago – by Mustard operation. The latter is, functionally, an atrial rather than an arterial switch.
The P waves are unremarkable – certainly no P pulmonale of emphysema – but do have a rightward axis, certainly over +70o.
Given the marked improvement in surgical treatment of congenital malformations30, there are now as many adult survivors as children with history of corrective or palliative surgery31.
