How is this RA Enlargement on an ECG?

The p wave is more + on the downslope and not on the upstroke in lead II, so it looks like LA enlargement to me.

The criteria is as follows:

RA enlargement = large first part of p wave in lead II (P-pulmonale) + sharp increase in V1

LA enlargement = large second part of p wave in lead II (P-mitrale) + sharp dip in V1

TIA!

Why LCX on this ECG?

V2,3,4 also have ST elevations.

Lead I doesn’t even have a ST elevations…

There are mild ST elevations in aVL and V6.

Do the T wave inversions allow for more precise localization?

TIA!

If I hear another attending mention Occam and his razor I will lose it!

I have heard it a million times and it makes me cringe!

Thank you for reading.

I am having trouble understanding this card, and ChatGPT has not been helpful (lol).

Please explain like I’m 5!

Hi everyone,

AnKing was so helpful for me during pre-clinical and STEP 1.

As I have been studying for STEP 2 and Shelves, I have been realizing that AnKing has been missing some information.

Is there a possibility I can add cards to the STEP 2 aspect of the deck so I can give back and contribute to the deck which has been very helpful to me?

Perhaps the AnKing himself or Ahmed can please reply and let me know?

Thank you! :)
