ABSTRACT
The limitations of electrocardiography for diagnosing left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), due to unacceptable accuracy and lack of serial quantifications, are well known. The use of angiocardiography for LVH assessment is invasive, hazardous and costly. Echocardiography provides an excellent method of estimation of left ventricular muscle mass, which is simple, non-hazardous, accurate and reproducible.
