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.
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.
