Key result
Proposed ECG criteria using deepest S wave amplitude improve diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy for LVH.
Why the study?
Current electrocardiographic criteria for the diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy have low sensitivity, prompting the testing of a new method to improve diagnostic performance.
Do the proposed ECG criteria improve the sensitivity and overall accuracy for diagnosing left ventricular hypertrophy compared to current criteria?
Cohort (n=94)
Do the proposed ECG criteria improve the sensitivity and overall accuracy for diagnosing left ventricular hypertrophy compared to current criteria?
A new ECG criterion based on the deepest S wave improves the sensitivity and accuracy of diagnosing left ventricular hypertrophy.
May improve ECG LVH detection in tested cohorts; extends prior criteria but leaves open need for larger validation before practice change.

Peguero et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Left ventricular hypertrophy (n=94). Proposed ECG criteria vs. Current ECG criteria was evaluated on Sensitivity and overall accuracy. The proposed ECG criteria for the diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy improved the sensitivity and overall accuracy of the test.
