Electrocardiographic abnormalities in hypertensive patients can be categorized into those directly related to left ventricular overload and those related to vascular disease complications.
Electrocardiographic abnormalities in hypertensive patients can be divided into two main categories The first consists of abnormalities that can be directly ascribed to left ventricular "overload" (Sokolow and Lyon, 1949). The second category consists of a miscellaneous group of conditions that are less directly related to left ventricular " overload" and are rather to be considered as complications of vascular disease, such as arrhythmias, conduction defects, and myocardial infarction.
F. O. Simpson (Fri,) studied this question.
