In LVH, the S wave in V1 added to the R wave in V5 or V6 should be greater than 35 mms. This is called the Sokolow-Lyon criteria and is a common way to diagnose LVH on an ECG. A combination of increased voltage in the limb leads and increased R wave amplitude in the chest leads is characteristic of LVH.
