Electrocardiographic parameters vary across different ethnicities and in comparison with international norms. In our population, diagnosis of increased QRS voltage by ECG is less prevalent with obesity and increased body fat. Further analysis of gold standard measurements for the diagnosis of LVH in our population is ongoing, to improve the accuracy of the ECG screening process.
