Poor R wave progression refers to the absence of the normal increase in size of the R wave In the ECG graph , in the precordial leads when advancing from lead V1 to V6. In lead V1, the R wave should be small. The R wave becomes larger throughout the precordial leads, to the point where the R wave is larger than the S wave in lead V4.
