abstract：:Echocardiographic parameters of left ventricular (LV) function were compared with the electrocardiographic findings in 40 patients with chronic severe aortic regurgitation. Total 12-lead QRS amplitude was linearly correlated with LV mass and its 'relative reduction' (less than 250 mm) indicated LV hypertrophy. Patient...
