____, a consequence of chronic heart failure, is evident on the ECG with greater-than-normal amplitude for the leads that are over that particular ventricle.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ventricular hypertrophy is indicated on an ECG by greater-than-normal amplitude for the leads that are over that particular ventricle. Hypercarbia is an increase in the carbon dioxide level in the blood and does not directly affect the ECG. Dysrhythmias and premature ventricular contractions may be present in a patient with chronic heart failure but are not specific to ventricular hypertrophy.
