KROK 1 2015 – Question 151 · KROK (Medicine) · Physiology
Electrocardiogram of a young man reveals deviation of his electrical axis of heart to the left. This phenomenon can be caused by:
- A. Dilation of the right atrium
- B. Asthenic body type
- C. Dilation of the left atrium
- D. Dilation of the right ventricle
- E. Hypersthenic body type
Hint
Consider the heart’s anatomical position in the chest and what, in a healthy young person, could rotate the mean electrical vector of ventricular depolarisation.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
