Why the study?
Does the diagnostic performance of ECG criteria for echocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy vary by age in the general population?
Does the diagnostic performance of ECG criteria for echocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy vary by age in the general population?
The optimal ECG criteria for detecting left ventricular hypertrophy differ by age, with Cornell criteria performing better in middle-aged individuals and Framingham criteria performing better in the elderly.
