Why the study?
Do ECG voltage criteria accurately detect left ventricular hypertrophy compared to echocardiography in adult hypertensive patients?
Do ECG voltage criteria accurately detect left ventricular hypertrophy compared to echocardiography in adult hypertensive patients?
Araoye, Cornell, and Sokolow-Lyon ECG criteria compare favorably with echocardiography for initial LVH assessment in adult hypertensives, with combined criteria offering more clinical utility.

Supports combined ECG criteria for LVH screening in hypertensives; leaves open prospective validation against echocardiography.
Out of the 4 ECG criteria, Araoye code system, Cornell and Sokolow-Lyon criteria compared favorably well with echocardiography and may be used in the initial assessment of LVH in adult hypertensive subjects. However, a combination of any of the 3 criteria with Gubner-Ungerleider criterion will be more clinically useful.
