Key result
Electrocardiograms of 22 autopsy-proven cases of isolated right ventricular hypertrophy showed that only 5 fulfilled Sokolow and Lyon criteria and 3 fulfilled Myers, Klein and Stofer criteria.
Why the study?
How sensitive are standard electrocardiographic criteria for detecting isolated right ventricular hypertrophy confirmed at autopsy?
Observational (n=22)
How sensitive are standard electrocardiographic criteria for detecting isolated right ventricular hypertrophy confirmed at autopsy?
Standard electrocardiographic criteria have very low sensitivity for detecting isolated right ventricular hypertrophy when compared to autopsy findings.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
ECG criteria miss most autopsy-proven RVH; challenges diagnostic thresholds and leaves open need for refined standards.
WALKER et al. (1955) conducted an observational in Right ventricular hypertrophy (n=22). Electrocardiogram criteria was evaluated on Fulfillment of Sokolow and Lyon criteria. Electrocardiograms of 22 autopsy-proven cases of isolated right ventricular hypertrophy showed that only 5 fulfilled Sokolow and Lyon criteria and 3 fulfilled Myers, Klein and Stofer criteria.
