Echocardiography may yield higher LVH detection than ECG in hypertension; leaves open optimal screening strategy and outcome impact.
How does electrocardiography compare to echocardiography for detecting left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive patients?
Echocardiography is more sensitive than ECG for detecting LVH in hypertensive patients, though ECG remains a useful screening tool in resource-limited settings.
