Key result
Persistent or new ECG left ventricular hypertrophy was associated with a higher incidence of new congestive heart failure compared to no LVH (60% and 52% vs 22%, P=0.001).
Why the study?
Does electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy predict the incidence of new congestive heart failure in older people?

Does electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy predict the incidence of new congestive heart failure in older people?
Absolute Event Rate: 60% vs 22%
p-value: p=0.001
In older adults, persistent or new electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy is strongly associated with a higher incidence and earlier onset of new congestive heart failure.

Aronow et al. (1998) conducted a cohort in Congestive heart failure (n=2,638). Electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy (persistent or new) vs. No ECG left ventricular hypertrophy was evaluated on Incidence of new congestive heart failure (p=0.001). Persistent or new ECG left ventricular hypertrophy was associated with a higher incidence of new congestive heart failure compared to no LVH (60% and 52% vs 22%, P=0.001).
