Key result
Patients with chronic kidney disease had a significantly higher mean Sokolow-Lyon score on electrocardiography compared to controls (22.49 vs 16.89 mm, p=0.03), indicating a strong association with left ventricular hypertrophy.
Why the study?
CKD increases cardiovascular event risk, which may be predicted by ECG abnormalities such as LVH, making practical ECG useful to analyze this relationship.
Is Chronic Kidney Disease associated with higher Sokolow-Lyon scores for left ventricular hypertrophy on electrocardiography compared to patients without CKD?
Case-Control (n=70)
No

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
In a resource-limited setting, ECG using the Sokolow-Lyon criteria identified significantly higher rates of left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with chronic kidney disease compared to controls.

Hajar et al. (2025) conducted a case-control in Chronic Kidney Disease (n=70). Chronic Kidney Disease vs. Patients with signs and symptoms suggestive of CKD but without a confirmed diagnosis was evaluated on Sokolow-Lyon score on ECG (p=0.03). Patients with chronic kidney disease had a significantly higher mean Sokolow-Lyon score on electrocardiography compared to controls (22.49 vs 16.89 mm, p=0.03), indicating a strong association with left ventricular hypertrophy.
