Massa ventricular e critérios eletrocardiográficos de hipertrofia: avaliação de um novo escore

Abstract: SummaryBackground: The left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an important and independent cardiovascular risk factor. There is a scarcity of studies in Brazil designed to test the efficacy of the electrocardiogram (ECG) in the diagnosis of this important pathological process.

“…This criterion, which uses the sum of the highest R wave and the highest S wave in the horizontal plane, multiplied by a higher duration of the QRS complex, has a consistent basis from the physical point of view, as the relation of increased electrical activity in LVH is shown by a spatial vector that has amplitude and duration. The higher expression of the R and S waves and the QRS complex represented by this vector showed good correlation with left ventricular mass 8 .…”

“…The modified Devereux formula 15 has good correlation with the left ventricular mass in necropsy studies (r = 0.90; p < 0.001) and applies to normal geometry ventricles, considered to be ellipsoid and within standards that allow volume extrapolation by the cube formula. In spite of the undeniable contribution of the echocardiogram in the diagnosis and knowledge of LVH, its cost is much higher than that of the ECG, in addition to its methodological limitations regarding reproducibility, as it depends greatly on the observer, a fact that limits its use in epidemiological studies 8 .…”

“…The R-wave amplitude was moderately but not statistically increased in the hearts of the young male AS160 Thr649Ala knockin mice, and significantly increased in the hearts of the old male and young female AS160 Thr649Ala knockin mice under normal conditions. The increased R-wave amplitude is a diagnostic marker for cardiac hypertrophy [ 23 ]. Although the ratio of heart to body weight was increased in the AS160 Thr649Ala knockin mice, the hearts showed no hypertrophic symptom as evidenced by the heart weight (data not shown) and the left ventricle mass detected by Echo ( Table 2 ).…”

“…Several ECG criteria were described for left ventricular hypertrophy , such as the classical voltage criteria, including the Sokolow-Lyon criteria: sum of the S wave in V1 and of the R wave in V5 or V6 ≥ 35 mm [ 74 ], and combined criteria, including the Cornell product [ 75 ], the Romhilt-Estes scoring system [ 76 ], and the Mazzaro score [ 77 ].…”
