What is regular sinus rhythm with poor r wave progression?
Regular sinus rhythm with poor R wave progression refers to a consistent heart rhythm originating from the sinoatrial node, characterized by normal P waves preceding each QRS complex. However, poor R wave progression indicates that the R wave amplitude does not increase appropriately across the precordial leads (V1 to V6), which can suggest issues like left ventricular hypertrophy or prior myocardial infarction. This finding may indicate underlying cardiac conditions that warrant further evaluation, despite the presence of regular sinus rhythm.
What causes poor R wave progression?
Poor R wave progression on an ECG can be caused by various factors such as obesity, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), dextrocardia, pericardial effusion, as well as technical issues such as incorrect lead placement. It is important to consider these factors when interpreting ECG findings.
What does a poor R wave progression mean in a cardiogram?
Poor R wave progression is a vague term used to describe the transition in voltage in the precordial leads of an electrocardiogram (ECG). It is not a diagnosis but simply describes a pattern frequently noted. In a "normal" individual there is a progressive increase in the magnitude of the voltage in the leads from V1 to V4. When the peak voltage occurs later than V4 it is considered diminished or delayed. The normal criteria are very old and were likely based upon pathologic data. Current ECG technology includes computer interpretation. This particular pattern is usually reported out as "cannot rule out anterior myocardial infarction." The placement of the precordial leads is paramount in obtaining a reliable ECG pattern. Frequently the precordial leads are placed in the wrong position in haste to obtain the electrocardiographic tracing. Women particulary large breasted are most likely to have the leads improperly placed as the left breast usually overlies the 4th and sometimes the 5th intercostal space (where the leads should be placed). In summary, the term poor R wave progression is a vague term and not a diagnosis. Verification of proper leads placement should be the first response followed by echocardiography if there remains concern that there has been prior myocardial injury.

Diagnosis for poor r wave progression v1-v4?
Poor R wave progression is a vague term used to describe a variation in the pattern formed by the QRS complexes in the chest or precordisl leads. The QRS complex represents the upward and downward deflections denoting the electrical discharge with each heartbeat. Normally the R wave is taller than the S wave by the 4th lead (V4). If the transition does not occur until the 5th or 6th precordisl lead then this is commonly referred to as poor R wave progression. It is used as a distinction from clearly normal patterns and clearly abnormal patterns. It may be found in normal hearts and can frequently be caused by improper placement of the electrodes during the recording of the ECG tracing.
Does the right ventricle have oxygen-poor blood?

What is meaning of following ecg resut poor r wave progression and t wave inversion v2?
Poor R-wave progression in an ECG typically indicates potential issues with the heart's electrical conduction or myocardial ischemia, particularly affecting the anterior wall. T-wave inversion in lead V2 can suggest myocardial ischemia or strain, often associated with conditions like left ventricular hypertrophy or coronary artery disease. Together, these findings may warrant further investigation to assess for underlying cardiac conditions or damage.
Which heart chambers have oxygen-poor blood?
The right chambers have oxygen poor blood. The right atrium receives oxygen-poor blood from the body circulation, and the right ventricle pumps it to the lungs.
Which way it's right i become a poor man or i am become a poor?
I become a poor man.
What does it mean to have an abnormal EKG showing poor R wave progression and right bundle branch block?
An abnormal EKG indicating poor R wave progression suggests that there is inadequate electrical activity in the heart's ventricles, which can be a sign of conditions such as left ventricular hypertrophy or anterior myocardial infarction. A right bundle branch block (RBBB) indicates a delay or blockage in the electrical conduction pathway in the right side of the heart. Together, these findings may point to underlying heart issues that require further evaluation and management, as they can be associated with various cardiac conditions. It's important for a healthcare provider to assess the clinical context and possibly conduct additional tests to determine the significance of these EKG changes.
