Correlation of signal averaged ECG parameters with left ventricular mass index in patients with systemic arterial hypertension

ABSTRACT

Background: Signal averaged ECG is a high-resolution electrocardiography which detects ventricular late potentials in patients susceptible to ventricular arrhythmias. Ventricular late potentials are identified on the basis of three parameters detected on signal averaged ECG. This study was planned to determine the correlation of signal averaged ECG parameters with left ventricular mass index in hypertensive patients
