Criteria for a positive 12-lead ECG

Criteria for a positive 12-lead ECG
P wave
Left atrial enlargement: negative portion of the P wave in lead V1 ≥0.1 mV in depth and ≥0.04 in duration
Right atrial enlargement: peaked P wave in leads II and III or V1 ≥0.25 mV in amplitude
QRS complex
Frontal plane axis deviation: right ≥+120º or left –30º to –90º
Increased voltage: amplitude of R or S wave in a standard lead ≥2 mV, S wave in lead V1 or V2 ≥3 mV, or R wave in lead V5 or V6 ≥3 mV
Abnormal Q waves ≥0.04 s in duration or ≥25 percent of the height of the ensuing R wave or QS pattern in two or more leads
Right or left bundle branch block with QRS duration ≥0.12 s
R or R' wave in lead V1 ≥0.5 mV in amplitude and R/S ratio ≥1
ST-segment, T-waves, and QT interval
ST-segment depression or T-wave flattening or inversion in two or more leads
Prolongation of heart rate corrected QT interval >0.44 s in males and >0.46 s in females
Rhythm and conduction abnormalities
Premature ventricular beats or more severe ventricular arrhythmias
Supraventricular tachycardias, atrial flutter, or atrial fibrillation
Short PR interval (<0.12 s) with or without 'delta' wave
Sinus bradycardia with resting heart rate ≤40 beats/min*
First (PR ≥0.21 s), second, or third degree atrioventricular block
* Increasing less than 100 beats/min during limited exercise test.
¶ Not shortening with hyperventilation or limited exercise test.
