==Overview==
==Overview==
Electrocardiogram may be used as a diagnostic tool in the evaluation of aortic stenosis. ECG findings associated with aortic stenosis include [[left ventricular hypertrophy]] and [[heart block]].
The electrocardiogram in the patient with moderate to severe [[aortic stenosis]] may reveal [[left ventricular hypertrophy]] and [[heart block]].


==Electrocardiogram==
==Electrocardiogram==
Although aortic stenosis does not lead to any ''specific'' findings on the [[ECG]], it still often leads to a number of electrocardiographic abnormalities. ECG manifestations of [[left ventricular hypertrophy]] (LVH) are common in aortic stenosis and arise as a result of the stenosis having placed a chronically high pressure load on the [[left ventricle]] (with LVH being the expected response to chronic pressure loads on the left ventricle no matter how caused).
*Although there are no specific findings on the [[EKG]], the presence of [[left ventricular hypertrophy]] ([[LVH]]) secondary to chronic pressure overload of the [[left ventricle]] due to [[aortic stenosis]] is commonly observed.<ref>{{Cite journal

As noted below, the calcification process which occurs in aortic stenosis can progress to extend beyond the aortic valve and into the [[electrical conduction system of the heart]]. Evidence of this phenomenon may include [[heart block]] that is apparent on the ECG but otherwise undetectable.

*Progressive [[calcific aortic valve disease|calcification of the aortic valve]] may extend beyond the valve and may result in conduction abnormalities of the heart including [[heart block]].


*Progressive concentric hypertrophy of the left ventricular wall may lead to larger QRS complexes, especially observed in leads V1-V6. The S wave in V1 is deep, the R wave in V4 is high. Often some [[ST depression]] can be seen in leads V5-V6, which is in this setting is called a left ventricular strain pattern.


===Criteria for LVH===
To diagnose [[left ventricular hypertrophy]] on the EKG one of the following criteria should be met:

Overview

The electrocardiogram in the patient with moderate to severe aortic stenosis may reveal left ventricular hypertrophy and heart block.

Electrocardiogram

  • Progressive concentric hypertrophy of the left ventricular wall may lead to larger QRS complexes, especially observed in leads V1-V6. The S wave in V1 is deep, the R wave in V4 is high. Often some ST depression can be seen in leads V5-V6, which is in this setting is called a left ventricular strain pattern.

Criteria for LVH

To diagnose left ventricular hypertrophy on the EKG one of the following criteria should be met: [2][3]

  • Sokolow-Lyon criteria:
  • R in V5 or V6 + S in V1 > 35 mm
  • Other criteria:
  • R > 26 mm in V5 or V6
  • R > 20 mm in I, II or III
  • R > 12 mm in aVL (in the absence of left anterior fascicular block)
  • Cornell criteria has different values in men and women:
  • R in aVL and S in V3 > 28 mm in men
  • R in aVL and S in V3 > 20 mm in women
  • In the Romhilt-Estes Score,[4]:
  • LVH is likely with 4 or more points, and
  • LVH is present with 5 or more points [5].

Class I
"1. An ECG is recommended yearly in the asymptomatic adolescent or young adult with AS who has a Doppler mean gradient greater than 30 mm Hg or a peak velocity greater than 3.5 m per second (peak gradient greater than 50 mm Hg) and every 2 years if the echocardiographic Doppler mean gradient is less than or equal to 30 mm Hg or the peak velocity is less than or equal to 3.5 m per second (peak gradient less than or equal to 50 mm Hg). (Level of Evidence: C)"
