Abstract
Objective. To estimate the changes of voltage electrocardiographic criteria of the left ventricular hypertrophy in arterial hypertension in subjects of different gender. Design and methods. The study included 94 hypertensive patients (55 males, 39 females). Mean age was 51 ± 6 years. Based on gender and the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy patients were divided into four groups. Results. There were significant differences of indices of Sokolow-Lyon and Cornell in males with I and II stages of arterial hypertension (р = 0,012 and р = 0,017, respectively). The same differences were found in females with I and II stages of arterial hypertension (р = 0,037 and р = 0,001, respectively). Specificity was 92 % for both indices, and the sensitivity was 26 % for Sokolow-Lyon index, and 39 % for Cornell index. In women sensitivity was 0 and 72 % for Sokolow-Lyon and Cornell indices, respectively, and specificity was more than 90 % for both criteria. Conclusion. Gender differences should be considered when voltage electrocardiographic criteria of the left ventricular hypertrophy are assessed in hypertensive patients.
