Implication

Subanalysis reveals that ECG criteria for detecting left ventricular hypertrophy improve risk stratification in hypertensive Africans, indicating a need for tailored approaches.

Key Points

The study investigated ECG criteria for detecting left ventricular hypertrophy in untreated hypertensive Africans.
Echocardiographic LVH was found in 5% of 1125 hypertensive participants, with women comprising 72% of the sample.
The Cornell voltage product showed the strongest correlation with left ventricular mass and highest diagnostic accuracy for LVH.
Implementing the Cornell voltage product as a first-line ECG criterion can help prioritize patients for echocardiography in resource-limited settings.
