May aid RV hypertrophy detection in mitral valve disease; leaves open prospective validation against outcomes.
Does the Frank system vectorcardiogram improve the recognition of ventricular hypertrophy compared to conventional electrocardiogram in patients with severe mitral valve disease?
The vectorcardiogram provides useful additional spatial information for recognizing ventricular hypertrophy in severe mitral valve disease that is not evident on a conventional electrocardiogram.
John Hamer (1970) studied this question.
