Electrocardiographic Criteria of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Patients with Morbid Obesity

Background: Obesity is frequently accompanied by systemic hypertension complicated by left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Standard electrocardiography (ECG) is generally accepted screening tool for LVH in systemic hypertension. The aim was to assess currently used ECG criteria in the diagnosis of LVH in morbidly obese patients.
