R(-)wave progression

Explanation:
Üblicherweise die Amplitudenzunahme [mV] ("Zuwachs") der R-Zacke in den präkordialen (Wilson-)Ableitungen des EKG:

normal *R-wave progression* in the praecordial leads
http://www.gpnotebook.co.uk/simplepage.cfm?ID=1704591373

Poor R wave progression refers to the absence of the normal increase in size of the R wave in the precordial leads as you progress from lead V1 to V6.

"Poor R-wave progression (PRWP)" is a potentially problematic term. Although it is most commonly used to describe delay in the progressive increase of R-wave amplitude that is usually seen as one moves across the precordial leads, consensus is lacking even among expert electrocardiographers as to what PRWP really entails.
