Usefulness of Goldberger"s triad to select dilated cardiomyopathy

ConclusionsConclusion: Goldberger"s triad is an insensitive marker for severe LV dysfunction. Using SV1 or SV2 +RV5 or RV6 ≥3.5mV and R/S ratio <  1 in lead V4 had a sensitivity of 50%. 85% patients had R/S ratio <  1 in lead V4. R/S ratio <  1 in lead V4 is a simple way to select dilated LV.
