The effect of anatomical factors on ECG amplitudes – a cardiac magnetic resonance study
We found that a non-cardiac variable (CWLV) was a stronger predictor of ECG amplitudes than was LVM, and that SAT was negatively correlated with ECG amplitudes, even in a sample with a normal median BMI. These findings suggest that distance factors may influence the ECG of non-obese persons and contribute to the limited accuracy of ECG-LVH criteria. Our findings also question the validity of Sokolow-Lyon voltage for assessment of LVM in females.
