Abstract

In clinical practice, electrocardiography is a kind of basic examination for changes of electrophysiology, cardiac structure and coronary perfusion, besides, left ventricular hypertrophy is often met by electrocardiography. In Framingham Heart Study, left ventricular hypertrophy is an important factor which will increase cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, so, how to increase the accuracy of left ventricular hypertrophy by electrocardiography is very important for clinical physicians. However, there are several diagnostic criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy by electrocardiography, so, in this article, we will discuss about the correlation of left ventricular hypertrophy between electrocardiography and echocardiography in purpose to early diagnosis and well control left ventricular hypertrophy.
