Complementary value of ECG and echocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy for prediction of adverse outcomes in the general population

Conclusion: Our study provides strong evidence that ECG-LVH is associated with adverse outcomes, independent of Echo-LVH. Clinically, ECG-LVH could be considered as a consequential factor, especially in those with Echo-LVH. These findings have potential clinical relevance for risk stratification.
