Why the study?
Left ventricular hypertrophy caused by high blood pressure is linked to increased mortality and arrhythmia risk, prompting an evaluation of arrhythmia in hypertensive patients due to LVH.
Population
300 hypertensive patients >18 years attending the cardiology unit of Baghdad medical city

Hypothesis-generating for arrhythmia screening in hypertensive LVH; prospective studies needed before practice change.
In Iraqi hypertensive patients, the frequency of arrhythmia is 16.3%, and it is significantly associated with older age, left ventricular hypertrophy, and heart failure.
