Electrocardiographic markers of hypertrophy in children: revisiting R/S overlap and the Katz-Wachtel phenomenon
R/S overlap correlates with myocardial hypertrophy in children. While it demonstrates high sensitivity, its limited specificity prevents its use as a standalone diagnostic parameter. It may contribute to early identification when combined with other ECG features and echocardiographic evaluation.
