ABSTRACT
To assess the utility of electrocardiogram in identifying left atrial enlargement, electrocardiogram of 600 consecutive patients were correlated with their M-mode echocardiographic findings. Left atrial enlargement, as reflected by P terminal force in V1 had sensitivity of 79%, specificity 91%, predictive value 85% and accuracy of 86%. Patients older than 30 years with large left atrium (greater than 5.0 cm) had atrial fibrillation more frequently than younger patients (P less than 0.001). It is concluded that P terminal force in V1 is a reliable indicator of left atrial enlargement.
