Association between electrocardiographic and echocardiographic right ventricular hypertrophy in a military cohort in Taiwan: The CHIEF study

Abstract

We compared electrocardiographic and echocardiographic right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) in 264 military members in Taiwan. The correlations of the Myers et al. and Sokolow-Lyon criteria with RV wall thickness were low (r < 0.1). Our data supported the American guidance that RVH voltage criteria violations should not receive further echocardiographic investigation.
