Electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy in relation to peripheral and central blood pressure indices in a Nigerian population Universiteit Hasselt KU Leuven
Purpose: Previous studies that addressed whether left ventricular hypertrophy is more closely associated with central than peripheral blood pressure (BP) have been inconsistent. Radial artery wave generated by applanation tonometry and calibrated with brachial BP in 162 adult Nigerians were analysed by using generalized transfer function to derive central BP. Materials and methods: We compared the associations of ECG voltages and left ...
