Why the study?
Does the RaVL wave on ECG better predict left ventricular hypertrophy and cardiovascular events compared to other ECG criteria in hypertensive patients?
Does the RaVL wave on ECG better predict left ventricular hypertrophy and cardiovascular events compared to other ECG criteria in hypertensive patients?
A simple measurement of the R wave in aVL on ECG is superior to more complex indices for diagnosing LVH and predicting cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients.

Supports RaVL for LVH and CVE prediction in hypertension; hypothesis-generating, requires prospective validation before practice change.
