Why the study?

These ECG changes should not prompt assumption of impaired function in hypertension; leaves open their prognostic or therapeutic implications.
Do electrocardiographic features of T-wave inversion and S-T segment depression indicate higher systolic blood pressure or impaired cardiac function in hypertensive patients?
In hypertensive patients, ECG changes such as T-wave inversion and ST depression correlate with higher systolic blood pressure rather than impaired cardiac function.
Hamer et al. (1969) studied this question.
