Impact of electrocardiographic findings for diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with primary aldosteronism
Conclusions:
ECG indexes had a reasonably high specificity, but a low sensitivity for LVH in patients with primary aldosteronism. Cornell voltage index and Cornell product index had a better diagnostic value of LVH, and had a better correlation with LVM index in these patients.
