Using CMR to improve the diagnostic accuracy of the ECG for the detection of left ventricular hypertrophy; production of a simple adjustment for body mass index
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background The electrocardiogram (ECG) is the most widely used screening tool to detect left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). However, current diagnostic criteria are highly insensitive, particularly in modern society with increasing prevalence of obesity. We aimed to use cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging to assess anatomical LV axis (frontal and lateral axis) and LV mass across a wide range of different body sizes, to generate a simple and clinically applicable adjustment factor that could be applied to increase the sensitivity of the most commonly used diagnostic criteria.

متن کاملImprovements in ECG accuracy for diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy in obesity
OBJECTIVES The electrocardiogram (ECG) is the most commonly used tool to screen for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), and yet current diagnostic criteria are insensitive in modern increasingly overweight society. We propose a simple adjustment to improve diagnostic accuracy in different body weights and improve the sensitivity of this universally available technique. METHODS Overall, 1295 p...

Introduction: Increased serum levels of FGF23 is associated with left ventricular hypertrophy. Increased serum ACE probably plays a role in cardiovascular disease and negatively affects the structure and function of cardiac muscle and leads to an induction of pathologic concentric hypertrophy. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of 12 weeks aerobic exercise on plasma FGF2...

Background and Objective: Various biomarkers lead to the incidence of pathologic left ventricular hypertrophy such as Cardiotrophin-1. The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of 12 weeks of aerobic exercise on serum levels of cardiotrophin-1, blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive elderly women. Materials and Methods: In this study, 40 women age...
