Electrocardiographic diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy: The effect of left ventricular wall thickness, size, and mass on the specific criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy

Increased wall thickness and ventricular diameter failed to correlate with the overall ECG score or significantly influence the frequency of any of the 4 ECG criteria for LVH in patients when LVM was held relatively constant. We also demonstrated that an increasing number of criteria on the ECG are associated with a greater mean LVM.
