Abstract

[In the left ventricle, left ventricular systolic and diastolic overload refer to pressure overload and volume overload. These two hemodynamic situations cause left ventricular hypertrophy and left ventricular dilatation respectively. From an electrocardiographical standpoint they can be considered together since they are both expressed by the same observation: the appearance of the “adult pattern” of left ventricular prevalence on an ECG, before the age of 2 and with the S and R wave’s pathological voltage in V1 and V6 precordial leads.]
