| Overall (n = 313) | ECG-LVH (n = 28) | Sensitivity | Specificity | PPV | NPV | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LVMI >95° percentile | 40 | 5 | 13% | 92% | 18% | 88% |
| LVMI2.7 (>51 g/m2.7) | 31,9 ± 11,8 (24) | 32,6 ± 45,9 (3) | 13% | 91% | 11% | 93% |
| LVMIw (>3.4 g/kg ) | 2,3 ± 3 (19) | 2,4 ± 3,4 (3) | 16% | 91% | 11% | 94% |
