Objective: Although electrocardiography (ECG) is recommended in all subjects with hypertension, no information is available on the influence exerted by random changes in the placement of electrodes on the day-to-day variability of ECG criteria for diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).
Methods: In a multicentre, randomized study, two standard 12-lead ECG were recorded, 24 h apart, from 276 consecutive hypertensive patients (mean age 65 +/- 12 years, 49.6% men).
Background: To evaluate distribution and prognostic value of total cholesterol and lipoprotein fractions in essential hypertension.
Methods: In a prospective cohort study, 2649 initially untreated subjects with essential hypertension (aged 51, 46.5% women) were investigated at entry and followed for a mean of 5.
Objectives: To determine the accuracy of the UA-774 (UA-767Plus) blood pressure monitor developed by the A&D Company.
