A Fortified Method to Screen and Detect Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Asymptomatic Hypertensive Adults: A Korean Retrospective, Cross-Sectional Study.

Conclusions: The rule to sum up the number of the risk factors of female, age≥65 y, BMI≥25 kg/m2, SLVA≥35 mm, and CTR≥0.50 may be a better diagnostic tool for screening LVH, than the electrocardiography-only criteria, at the score≥2. PMID: 30595914 [PubMed]
