Barriers to hypertension care and control in young urban black men.

abstract：:Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is more prevalent in black than white hypertensives, but this difference is greater when identified by electrocardiography (ECG) than by echocardiography. We evaluated the proposal that current ECG criteria for LVH are less specific, and therefore, less useful, in blacks than whites....
