Abstract

To develop improved electrocardiographic criteria of left ventricular hypertrophy, individual electrocardiographic voltage measurements were compared with echocardiographic left ventricular mass in a "learning series" of 414 subjects. The strongest independent relations with left ventricular mass were exhibited by the S wave in lead V3, the R wave in lead a VL and the T wave in lead V1 (each p less than 0.001), and by age and sex. Better electrocardiographic detection of left ventricular hypertrophy was achieved by new criteria that stratified QRS voltage and repolarization findings in sex and age subsets. For men, at all ages, left ventricular hypertrophy is suggested by QRS voltage alone when the R wave in lead aVL and the S wave in lead V3 total more than 35 mm. When this voltage exceeds 22 mm, left ventricular hypertrophy is suggested in men under age 40 years when the T wave in lead V1 is positive (greater than or equal to 0 mm), and in men 40 years or older when the T wave in lead V1 is at least 2 mm. For women, at all ages, left ventricular hypertrophy is suggested when the R wave in lead a VL and the S wave in lead V3 total more than 25 mm. When this voltage exceeds 12 mm, left ventricular hypertrophy is suggested in women under 40 when the T wave in lead V1 is positive (greater than or equal to 0 mm), and in women over 40 when the T wave in lead V1 is 2 mm or greater.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
