Systemic Hypertension may manifest electrocardiographically in the following manner:-
- Electrocardiographic signs of left venticular hypertrophy due to systolic overload
- Electrocardiographic signs of left atrial abnormality
- Left Axis Deviation because of chronic systemic hypertension
ECG features of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
- There are deep S waves in the right oriented leads
- Tall R waves in the left oriented lead
- The sum of S wave in leads V1 and R wave in lead V6 is 50mm
ECG features of Left Ventricular systolic overload
- There is a wide frontal plane QRS-T angle
- T wave is inverted in Left oriented leads
