  1. ECG Axis Interpretation • LITFL • ECG Library Basics

    Nov 17, 2024 · Abnormal axis deviation, indicating underlying pathology, is demonstrated by: Left Axis Deviation = QRS axis less than -30°. Right Axis Deviation = QRS axis greater than +90°. Extreme …

  2. Electrical Right and Left Axis Deviation - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf

    Jan 8, 2024 · Identify the key components of electrical axis deviation on an electrocardiogram. Differentiate between right-axis deviation and left-axis deviation based on electrocardiogram …

  3. What Does Axis Deviation on an EKG Mean? - ScienceInsights

    Axis deviation occurs when this mean electrical direction shifts significantly away from its normal path. This EKG finding is not a disease itself, but rather a diagnostic signal that the heart may be …

  4. Left axis deviation - Wikipedia

    In electrocardiography, left axis deviation (LAD) is a condition wherein the mean electrical axis of ventricular contraction of the heart lies in a frontal plane direction between −30° and −90°.

  5. What Is Axis Deviation and What Are the Causes?

    Jul 20, 2025 · Axis deviation is a finding on an electrocardiogram (EKG) that shows the general direction of the heart’s electrical activity. It is an observation, not a specific disease or diagnosis. The heart’s …

  6. What is Cardiac Axis? | ECG Interpretation | Geeky Medics

    Mar 6, 2011 · Right axis deviation (RAD) involves the direction of depolarisation being distorted to the right (between +90º and +180º). The most common cause of RAD is right ventricular hypertrophy.

  7. Determining the Electrical Axis of the Heart - ECG

    Explore limb ECG leads, electrical axis determination, positive/negative deflections, and cardiac axis variations like left, right, and extreme deviations.

  8. Axis Deviation - ECGTECH.ORG

    Axis Deviation occurs when a patient has a shift in the primary direction of the flow of the electricity within the heart. The term vector is used to describe an imaginary arrow that points from the start of …

  9. QRS axis - ECGpedia

    Jan 14, 2021 · Click and drag the arrow in the above animation to change the heart axis and see how the ECG changes. The electrical heart axis is an average of all depolarizations in the heart. The …

  10. Heart Axis Calculation - My EKG

    Mar 17, 2025 · Between -30º and 90º: normal heart axis. Between -30º and -90º: left-axis deviation. Between 90º and 180º: right-axis deviation. Between -90º and -180º: extreme axis deviation. Related …
