Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is as an independent risk factor. Discrepancies were reported between LV mass (LVM) estimated by echocardiography and electrocardiography (ECG) findings. We hypothesized that QRS voltage criteria may reflect not only anatomical changes (LVM) but also changes in LV function and we tested the relationship between QRS voltage and echocardiographic parameters of LV function in patients (pts) with different types of LVH.We prospectively enrolled pts with LVH and preserved ejection fraction (LVEF >50
