CORRELATION OF LEFT VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHYAbstract
This study was designed to determine the specificity of electrocardiography compared to echocardiographyin detecting left ventricular hypertrophy. It included 50 patients of age 26-80 years, mean age 56±18 years
S.D., having longstanding hypertension where LVH was suspected. 84 % were found to have left ventricular
hypertrophy (LVH) and 16% were negative for left ventricular hypertrophy on echocardiography. Patients
with left ventricular hypertrophy was 44% and without left ventricular hypertrophy 56% on
electrocardiography.
It was concluded that echocardiography is more sensitive and specific investigation for detecting left
ventricular hypertrophy than electrocardiography.
