Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) - ECG Criteria

Through many studies, multiple criteria have been developed to diagnose LVH :::::::

Cornell criteria: Add the R wave in aVL and the S wave in V3. If the sum is > 28 mm in males or > 20 mm in females, then LVH is present.

Modified Cornell Criteria: Examine the R wave in aVL. If the R wave is > 12 mm in amplitude, then LVH is present.
