* R in aVL and S in V3 >28 mm in men
* R in aVL and S in V3 >28 mm in men
* R in aVL and S in V3 >20 mm in women
* R in aVL and S in V3 >20 mm in women
In the '''Romhilt-Estes Score''' LVH is ''likely'' with 4 or more points. LVH is ''present'' with 5 or more points:
* Amplitude of R or S wave in limb leads >2.0 mV, or S wave in  V1 or V2 >3.0 mV, or R wave in V5 or V6 >3.0 mV = 3 points.
* ST-segment changes with or without digitalis = 1 or 2 points, respectively.
* LA abnormality = 3 points.
* Left-axis deviation -30° or more = 2 points.
* QRS duration >90 ms = 1 point.
* Intrinsicoid deflection in V5 or V6 = 0.05 to 0.07 s.
