The electrical determinants of increased wall thickness and mass in left ventricular hypertrophy.

Abstract：

INTRODUCTION:Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), defined as an increased left ventricular mass (LVM), can manifest as increased wall thickness, ventricular dilatation, or both. Existing LVH criteria from the electrocardiogram (ECG) have poor sensitivity. However, it is unknown whether changes in wall thickness and mass, respectively, can be separately detected by the ECG. METHODS:Patients undergoing cardiovascular magnetic resonance and resting 12-lead ECG were included. Exclusion criteria were clinical confounders that might influence the ECG, including myocardial scar. Advanced ECG (A-ECG) analysis included conventional ECG measures and amplitudes, derived vectorcardiographic and polarcardiographic measures, and singular value decomposition of waveform complexity. A-ECG scores for 1) increased LVM index (LVMI), and 2) increased global wall thickness index (GTI) beyond the upper limit of normal in healthy volunteers, respectively, were derived using multivariable logistic regression. The area under the curve (AUC) and its bootstrapped confidence interval (CI) for each score were compared to those of conventional ECG-LVH criteria including Cornell voltage, Cornell product, and Sokolow-Lyon voltage criteria. RESULTS:Out of 485 patients (median [interquartile range] age 51 [38-61] years, 54% female), 51 (11%) had increased LVMI and 65 (13%) had increased GTI. The A-ECG scores for increased LVMI (AUC [95% CI] 0.84 [0.78-0.90]), and increased GTI (0.80 [0.74-0.85]) differed, and had a higher AUC than the conventional ECG-LVH criteria (p < 0.001 for all). CONCLUSIONS:Increased LVMI differed from increased GTI in its electrocardiographic manifestation by A-ECG. New A-ECG scores outperform conventional ECG criteria for LVH in determining increased LVMI and GTI, respectively.
