*R in V5 or V6 + S in V1 >35 mm. | *R in V5 or V6 + S in V1 >35 mm. | ||
This criterium is not reliable below age 40 years.<cite>Chou</cite> In 10-29 year olds, the 99th percentile for SV1+RV5 is 53mm. In 20-39 year olds: 32% have SV2+RV5 > 35 mm.<cite>chou</cite> Correlation between LVH on ECG and echocardiography is low with ECG having a sensitivity of 27% and specicity of 88% for echocardiographically measured LVH<cite>echo</cite><cite>echo2</cite>. Moreover, both are independent estimators of worse prognosis.<cite>sundstrom</cite. | |||
