What is the accuracy of various ECG criteria for diagnosing left ventricular hypertrophy compared to patho-anatomical findings in patients over 50?
Specific ECG voltage criteria, ventricular activation time, and ST-T wave changes are sensitive indicators of anatomically confirmed left ventricular hypertrophy.
Skjaeggestad et al. (1969) studied this question.
