The Groningen electrocardiographic criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy: a sex-specific analysis

Abstract The sensitivity of electrocardiogram (ECG) criteria to detect left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is low, especially in women. We determined sex-specific sensitivities of ECG-LVH criteria, and developed new criteria, using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). Sensitivities of ECG...
