This study details normal electrocardiogram (ECG) patterns in young males using right-sided chest leads (V3R-V6R). Findings highlight variations in wave patterns and T-wave inversion across these leads, crucial for interpreting cardiac electrical activity.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Electrophysiology
  • Human Physiology

Background:

  • Electrocardiograms (ECGs) are essential for assessing cardiac electrical activity.
  • Right-sided chest leads (V3R-V6R) provide specific views of the heart's right ventricle.
  • Understanding normal variations in these leads is critical for accurate diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the prevalence and patterns of ECG waveforms in right-sided chest leads (V3R-V6R).
  • To establish normative data for these leads in a healthy adolescent male population.

Main Methods:

  • Recorded 12-lead ECGs with additional right-sided chest leads (V3R-V6R).
  • Analyzed ECG parameters including wave patterns (rS, rSr, qr, qS), wave amplitudes, ST segment deviation, and T-wave inversion.

  • Evaluated 110 healthy male subjects aged 17-22 years.

    • Main Results:

    • The rS pattern prevalence decreased from V3R (89%) to V6R (37%), while the rSr pattern increased from V3R (10%) to V6R (36%).
    • Wave amplitudes (r, S, secondary r) progressively decreased from V3R to V6R.
    • T-wave inversion prevalence increased from V3R (60%) to V6R (79%).

    Conclusions:

    • Normal ECGs in young males show distinct patterns in right-sided chest leads, with significant variations from V3R to V6R.
    • Established normative data for right-sided chest leads, including prevalence of specific wave patterns and T-wave inversion.
    • These findings are vital for differentiating normal variations from pathological changes in right ventricular function.
