In this course, we review cardiac anatomy relevant to the ECG diagnosis of cardiac chamber enlargement. We teach you how to apply ECG criteria which allow identification of the presence of right and left ventricular hypertrophy or dilatation. We teach you the ECG criteria employed to detect right and left atrial hypertrophy or dilatation. We explain the term ‘atrial abnormality’ in the context of these criteria. We discuss the limitations of ECG criteria in detecting cardiac chamber enlargement. We explain the origin of ST segment and T wave abnormalities in the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy. We illustrate important ECG findings observed in left ventricular hypertrophy which can mimic STEMI.
