EKG of the Week 1/18/2007

This EKG shows marked right axis deviation (Negative vector in Lead I and Postive Vector in Lead aVF) as well as loss of voltage across the precordium seen in V1-V6. If you look closely you will notice there are negative or inverted p waves in lead I and aVL which is a clue to the diagnosis. The differential for inverted p waves in lead I and aVL is Dextrocardia or Reversed Arm Leads. Since there is loss of voltage across the precordium this is Dextrocardia.
