Visceral fat level correction of the left ventricular hypertrophy electrocardiographic criteria

Abstract Background Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a well‐known risk factor for cardiovascular events. Even though there are many electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria for LVH, they still provide poor performance, especially among obese patients. The aim of this study was to examine whether add...

The aim of this study was to examine whether adding visceral fat to ECG LVH criteria improves accuracy in the diagnosis.

All patients underwent a complete physical examination, office blood pressure measurement, analysis of body composition, 12‐lead ECG, and M‐mode two‐dimensional echocardiography. Four standard ECG criteria for LVH were analyzed, including Cornell voltage criteria, Cornell duration criteria, Sokolow–Lyon voltage criteria, and Sokolow–Lyon product criteria. Adjustments of ECG LVH criteria were performed using visceral fat level (VFATL) and BMI. Transthoracic echocardiography was used as a reference method to compare the quality of ECG LVH criteria. Results Multivariate logistic regression models were created and revealed a significant increase of area under curve (AUC) after VFATL and BMI addition to ECG LVH criteria. Improvement of sensitivity at 90% specificity was observed in all created models. The odds ratio (OR) of the analyzed ECG criteria increased after adding VFATL and BMI to the models. Furthermore, ROC curves analysis exposed better characteristics in detecting LVH of VFATL‐adjusted criteria than BMI‐adjusted and unadjusted criteria. Conclusions Adjusting ECG indexes to BMI or VFATL improves the sensitivity of LVH detection. VFATL‐corrected indexes are more sufficiently than BMI‐corrected. After advancements in indexes, both lean and morbidly obese individuals outcomes show a greater prevalence of correct LVH diagnosis.Szymon SalamagaFranciszek DydowiczAgnieszka TurowskaIwona JuszczykMateusz MatyjasekKatarzyna Kostka‐JeziornyLudwina Szczepaniak‐ChichełAndrzej TykarskiPaweł UruskiWileyarticleelectrocardiographic criterialeft ventricular hypertrophyvisceral fatDiseases of the circulatory (Cardiovascular) systemRC666-701ENAnnals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Vol 26, Iss 6, Pp n/a-n/a (2021)
