Why the study?
Several ECG criteria are widely used to diagnose LVH, but their performance in a general Chinese population is limited.
Do standard ECG criteria accurately detect echocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy in a general Chinese population?
Do standard ECG criteria accurately detect echocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy in a general Chinese population?
Standard ECG criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy have high specificity and negative predictive value but poor sensitivity and positive predictive value when compared to echocardiography in a general Chinese population.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
ECG-LVH criteria show limited accuracy in Chinese adults; leaves open need for population-specific validation before wider use.
