This study evaluates the reliability of ECG criteria for diagnosing left ventricular hypertrophy by correlating them with definitive postmortem findings.
The electrocardiographic diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy is uncertain at best and is largely based on useful clues. Reliance on the presence or absence of abnormally high QRS voltage or any of the other presently accepted criteria may lead to error. The author undertook evaluation of the reliability of the various electrocardiographic criteria, of left ventricular hypertrophy in a study correlating electrocardiographic and postmortem findings.
