A member asked:
What does a left ventricular obstruction mean on an ekg?

ECG: Left ventricular obstruction has no meaning on an ecg. Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction can cause the left ventricle to hypertrophy anatomically. The hypertrophy can be seen on ecg as the LVH pattern. One can not however read 'obstruction' on an ecg, it can be suspected but not diagnosed by ecg alone absent other information.

HOCM: Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy could produce some characteristic ekg changes in some people but not in all. If we see similar ekg changes then we need to rule out hocm through echo. It means there is obstruction to the outflow of the left ventricle due to muscle hypertrophy. If you really have it, it is dangerous. Need to get full physical and work-up. Consult your physician.
