[Prevalence of electrocardiographic signs of pulmonary hypertension in a sample of male population of Novosibirsk].
Prevalence of ECG signs of right ventricular hypertrophy and pulmonary hypertension was assessed in a representative sample (n=715) of nonorganized male population (age 25-64 years) of Novosibirsk studied within a framework of WHO MONICA project. Other methods of investigation included Rose questionnaire, anthropometry, ECG interpreted with Minnesota code, and echocardiography. Echocardiography data were used as reference for determination of sensitivity and specificity of ECG-criteria of pulmonary hypertension.
