Abstract
Aims
To evaluate the performance of the currently accepted LVH electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria from ethnic-specific normal values.
Methods and results
We included 309 hypertensive subjects with both ECG (12‑leads device) and echocardiographic analysis. The diagnosis of LVH was established by echocardiography from specific norms. Current ECG criteria for the diagnosis of LVH have low performances. Area Under Curve of Sokolow-Lyon, Peguero-Lo Presti, Cornell voltage and Cornell Product were respectively 0.61, 0.65, 0.72 and 0.71.
Conclusion
In hypertensive African, the most accurate criterion for diagnosing LVH is Cornell voltage.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electrocardiology is devoted exclusively to clinical and experimental studies of the electrical activities of the heart. It seeks to contribute significantly to the accuracy of diagnosis and prognosis and the effective treatment, prevention, or delay of heart disease. Editorial contents include electrocardiography, vectorcardiography, arrhythmias, membrane action potential, cardiac pacing, monitoring defibrillation, instrumentation, drug effects, and computer applications.
