Electrocardiographic diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy on the basis of dipole electrocardiotopography method

The dipole electrocardiotopography-based diagnostic criterion of LVH is demonstrated to be statistically more accurate as compared to other criteria studied. The advantage of this criterion suggests that with the use of decartograms, it is possible to reveal some additional information not accessible for other diagnostic tools. Decartograms help to visualize and quantify the redistribution of activation duration over the myocardium, thus providing a valuable instrument for heuristic analysis and dynamic observation of the heart state affected by LVH.
