“…8). In 14 patients whose hearts were studied at autopsy, BVH was confirmed by weighing the ventricles and measuring the width of each ventricular wall (1,15). All the values were abnormal when compared with the normal data collected by Saphir (38), Zeek (51) and Smith (41).…”

“…Electrocardiographic diagnosis of left atrial enlargement was based on the criteria described by Macruz and validated in the negro population by Araoye (widened P-wave C 0.12 mm, and or biphasic P-wave with the terminal force in V 1 C 1 mm, P-wave notching [40 mm in lead II) [23,24]. Left ventricular hypertrophy on electrocardiogram was based on Sokolow and Lyon voltage criteria [25], While right ventricular hypertrophy was based on the criteria described by Allenstein et al [26]; (dominant or tall R-waves or Rs pattern in aVR, V 1 and V 2 with deep S-wave in I, aVL, V 5 , V 6 ). ST-segment was taken as the interval between the J point (or end of the QRS complex) and the beginning of the T-wave (defined as the point of maximum abrupt deflation after the ST-segment) [21].…”

The magnetocardiogram (MCG) using a second derivative gradiometer specificially detects a current source close to the detector, and it should clearly detect the electromotive force of the right ventricle. Therefore, in the present study, we examined the features of the MCG of patients with right ventricular overload. Compared with normal subjects, patients with typical right ventricular overload showed an increased amplitude of the R wave in the upper portion at the anterior chest, and of the S wave in the lower portion. On the basis of mean ± 2 SD of values for normal subjects, the MCG criteria for right ventricular overload were set as follows: (1) R wave at B-2 (R(b-2)) ≥13 × 10^–8 gauss; (2) S wave at F-3 (S(F-3)) ≥3 × 10^–8 gauss; (3) right to left ratio = (R(b-2) + S(f-3))/(S(b-2) + R(f-3)) ≥1.0. In a prospective study, the MCG criteria showed significantly higher sensitivity than the ECG criteria in patients with right ventricular overload, especially in patients with a right ventricular pressure of more than 50 mm Hg. These results suggest that the MCG is useful for diagnosis of right ventricular overload.
