Electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy and outcome in hemodialysis patients.

<h4>Background and aims</h4>Electrocardiography (ECG) is the most widely used initial screening test for the assessment of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), an independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, traditional ECG cr...
