SpringerImages - ECG recorded from a 46-year-old male with recurrent thromboembolic disease, gross pulmonary hypertension, and RV failure. The chest x-ray showed cardiomegaly and an enlarged pulmonary artery. Note the QR complex in V1 with secondary ST-T changes in V1–V4 indicating RVH. These ST-T changes constitute the classical RV strain pattern. The P waves suggest right atrial enlargement in addition.
