Abstract:
Objecttve To explore the value of electrocardiographic(ECG)Cornell criteria for detecting left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH)in elderly Chinese men.Methods Since 1990,244 autopsies were performed in our hospital in elderly men,LVH was determined in these autopsy hearts and correlated to EGG LVH signs recorded within 3 months before death according to Comer(Sv3+RIvL)and Sokolow-Lyon criteria(Svl+Rvs or RV6).The reference value of Comell criteria was obtained based on valUes from autopsied healthy hearts,the sensitivity and specificity of Cornell and Sokolow-Lyon criteria for detecting left ventricular hypertrophy in these eldedy men were talculated.Results There were significantly correlations between QRS amplitudes of Cornell and Sokolow-Lyon criteria and autopsy left ventricular wall thickness in tllese hearts.The reference value of Comer criteria(SV3+RaVL)was 2.9 mV.The sensitivity of Sokolow-Lyon and Cornell criteria for detecting LVH Wag 25.4%and 34.3%(P＜0.05 vs Sokolow-Lyon criteria),respectively.Condusion Voltage(SV3+R.RavL)≥2.9 mV might be a suitable diagnostic value for detecting left ventricular hypertrophy in Chinese elderly men.
