ECG Criteria for LVH — JoyShine Medical

ECG Criteria for Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (Sokolow-Lyon / Cornell)

Screens a 12-lead ECG for left ventricular hypertrophy by one selected QRS-voltage criterion (Sokolow-Lyon or Cornell), reporting POSITIVE/NEGATIVE; a high-specificity, low-sensitivity screen — a negative result does not rule out LVH.

Criterion

Sokolow-Lyon voltage (SV1 + R V5/V6) Sokolow-Lyon limb lead (R aVL) Cornell voltage (R aVL + S V3, sex-specific) Cornell product (voltage × QRS duration)

Sex (Cornell criteria only)

Male Female

S wave depth in V1 — SV1 (mm; Sokolow-Lyon voltage)

R wave height in V5 — RV5 (mm; Sokolow-Lyon voltage)

R wave height in V6 — RV6 (mm; Sokolow-Lyon voltage)

R wave height in aVL — R aVL (mm; Sokolow R-aVL and Cornell)

S wave depth in V3 — SV3 (mm; Cornell)

QRS duration (ms; Cornell product only)
