Prediction of Left Ventricular Mass Index Using Electrocardiography in Essential Hypertension - A Multiple Linear Regression Model.

In the model, 50.4% of the variability in LV mass is explained by the variables used. The findings warrant further studies for the development of better and validated models that can be incorporated in microprocessor-based ECG devices. The determination of LVMI with ECG only will be a cost-effective and readily accessible tool in patient care.
