BiVentricular Hypertrophy
Biventricular hypertrophy
Katz-Wachtel phenomenon
(
sign
):
Large biphasic (equiphasic) QRS complexes observed in midprecordial and limb leads.
Sum of the amplitudes of R wave and S wave in leads C2, C3 or C4 is > 60mm (6mV).
Reference
Circulation 2009,119:e251-e261.
ECG 1. The above ECG belongs to an 11 years old boy who was operated for atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect and
