The Prognostic Value of Electrocardiographic Estimation of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Dialysis Patients

摘要

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is associated with poor cardiovascular outcome in CKD. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is low‐cost but infrequently used to assess presence of LVH in dialysis patients. The aim of this study was to establish which ECG‐determined LVH method is most sensitive in dialysis patients, and also most predictive of death.
