Electrocardiogram Machine interpretations

Hey does anyone know what it means when an ECG interpretation says "Minimal Voltage Criteria for LVH" ?
and what does LVH mean? I have atrial flutter and Bigeminy PVC's and everytime i have an EKG it always says....minimal voltage criteria....bla bla bla.....borderline ECG.  But no one has explained the significance.

Also what does "Aberrant Conduction" mean on an EKG?

Hi.  LVH is left ventricular hypertrophy.  I believe that it is saying you have a minimal amount of the criteria they are using as parameters to have this.  It means, if this is correct, that you have borderline LVH.  Usually not a cause for concern.  Did they mention what you could do about it?

  SVT is usually appears as a narrow complex tachycardia but with aberrantly conducted beats it will appear as a wide complex tachycardia (resembling V-Tach).

SVT typically originates in atrial tissue  (AV junction) and utilizes the normal atrioventricular (AV) conduction system for ventricular activation. Aberrance occurs when there is delay or block in the His-Purkinje system during antegrade conduction of impulses over the normal AV fascicles. Essentially, all types of SVT with aberrant conduction can present as a wide complex tachycardia. These include AT, AVNRT, AVRT, and other rare forms of SVT.

Hey, thanks for that.

Well i have had an echo, although they had serious trouble actually seeing my heart... about four people came into the room. they said my ribs were very close together and although i am skinny they had a really pathetic view of my heart. The EP cardiologist still reviewed the echo and said it was ok. I do have really high blood pressure 185/115, so maybe that together with the bigeminy and tachy episodes are to blame for the supposed borderline LVH. Its so frustrating when your handed a script for verapamil and told to go away for 2 months..... However on a positive note, a friend of mine at work is an Anaesthetist so im gonna ask him to look at my ECG's and see what he reckons......not a cardiologist, but worth a try. Im hoping he might have some theories about my SOB and Tachycardia on minimal exertion.
