Clinical study on left ventricular hypertrophy related arrhythmia in patients with primary hypertension / 中国实用内科杂志

Objective To investigate the correlation between arrhythmia and left ventricular hypertrophy in patients withprimary hypertension. Methods 12-lead synchronous resting electrocardiogram. ambulatory electrocardiogram and echo-cardiogram were obtained from 246 patients with primary hypertension. Left ventricular mass index (LVMI ) was meas-ured as previous reference. Results The average LVMI of myocardium hypertrophy group (151.6? 15. 8g/m~2) signif-canily increased compared with that of the control group (P
