Abstract

Authors evaluated the electrocardiographic criteria of Minnesota Code (III-1, III-2) for the diagnosis of left and right ventricular hypertrophy in 93 cases of healthy peoples, 74 cases of left ventricular hypertrophy and 4 cases of right ventricular hypertrophy and following results were obtained.
1. By left ventricular hypertropy criteria (III-1), there were 5.4% of false positive and 14.9% of false negative cases.
2. By right ventricular hypertrophy criteria III-2), there were 24.7% of false positive and 20.0% of false negative cases.
3. Electrocardiographic diagnosis of ventricular hypertrophy by Minnesota Code (III-1, III-2) were more reliable criteria than many other criteria of ventricular hypertrophy.
