[Left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertension. Part I. Criteria of diagnosis and prevalence].
Possibilities of electrocardiography, echocardiography and magnetic resonance tomography for diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy are reviewed and various criteria of left ventricular hypertrophy compared.
