Electrocardiographic Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

Electrocardiographic Left Ventricular Hypertrophy: Looking Beyond Left Ventricular Mass provides an innovative perspective on electrocardiogram (ECG) usage for treatment of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). It links contemporary research results with clinical practice in order to bring a cornerstone technology into the future. Specifically, it illuminates how ECGs provide unique information on the cardiac electric field in LVH patients. Electrocardiographic Left Ventricular Hypertrophy: Looking Beyond Left Ventricular Mass recognizes and fulfills the urgent need to change the classical diagnostic paradigm of ECG diagnosis in LVH. To do so, it turns attention to so-called false-negative ECG findings that in truth provide valuable, often overlooked information. When used to their fullest potential, these results can be used for diagnostics, selection of targeted therapy and cardiovascular risk assessment.
