Why the study?
Do adult ECG criteria accurately diagnose left ventricular hypertrophy in young competitive athletes compared to echocardiography?
Do adult ECG criteria accurately diagnose left ventricular hypertrophy in young competitive athletes compared to echocardiography?
ECG criteria that combine QRS voltages and ST-T anomalies, such as the Perugia score, are superior to QRS voltage criteria alone for identifying left ventricular hypertrophy in young athletes.

Combined ECG criteria may better identify LVH in athletes than voltage alone; leaves open screening accuracy versus echocardiography.
