“ECG & ECHOCARDIAGRAPHIC STUDY OF LEFT VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHY IN PATIENT WITH ESSENTIAL HYPERTENSION IN A TERITARY CARE HOSPITALâ€

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Left ventricular hypertrophy is the adaptive mechanism to increased left ventricular stress is associated with many adverse events. This study was undertaken to study the left ventricular hypertrophy in patients of essential hypertension and to correlate between clinical, electrocardiography (ECG) and echocardiography in the identification of left ventricular hypertrophy.
