Diagnostic value of Peguero Lo Presti Electrocardiografic Index for diagnosis of Left Ventricle Hypertrophy in correlation with cardiovascular magnetic resonance

Abstract

Funding Acknowledgements: Type of funding sources: None. Background: The gold standard for the diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy is cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Nonetheless, electrocardiogram is the most widely used screening test due to convenience, availability and low cost. There are more than 35 electrocardiographic indices to diagnose left ventricular hypertrophy among them stand out: Cornell, Sokolow-Lyon and the Index of Peguero-Lo Presti.
