The Electrocardiogram Is a Poor Diagnostic Tool to Detect Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Children: A Comparison with Echocardiographic Assessment of Left Ventricular Mass.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Cardiovascular diseases in pediatric pathologies have emerged in the recent years in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), with congenital heart diseases (CHDs) being the most frequent. Unfortunately, their diagnosis is usually delayed, thereby increasing childhood morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVES:Describe the cli...
