Clinical Characteristics Associated with Electrocardiographic Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Clinical Normotensives without a History of Hypertension: a Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:This study evaluated factors independently associated with electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy (ECG-LVH) in subjects who were normotensive on clinical measurement and had no prior history of hypertension. METHODS:This cross-sectional study analyzed cases and controls in the Comprehensive Medical Examination Center of Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital.

RESULTS:A multiple logistic regression model showed male sex, age and systolic bloo
