Look for

Where to look. Compare precordial voltages and ST segments/T waves in I, aVL, V5–V6.

Altered ventricular activation and recovery can accompany LVH. Inverted T waves therefore do not, in isolation, prove acute ischemia.

Repolarization abnormalities are described as secondary to LVH, with no clinical history supplied.
