    Usefulness of ECG criteria to rule out left ventricular hypertrophy in older individuals with true left bundle branch block: an observational study
    (2021) TAVARES, Caio Assis Moura; SAMESIMA, Nelson; NETO, Felippe Lazar; HAJJAR, Ludhmila Abrahao; GODOY, Lucas C.; PADRAO, Eduardo Messias Hirano; FACIN, Mirella; FILHO, Wilson Jacob; FARKOUH, Michael E.; PASTORE, Carlos Alberto
    Background Advanced age is associated with both left bundle branch block (LBBB) and hypertension and the usefulness of ECG criteria to detect left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with LBBB is still unclear. The diagnostic performance and clinical applicability of ECG-based LVH criteria in patients with LBBB defined by stricter ECG criteria is unknown. The aim of this study was to compare diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of ECG criteria in patients with advanced age and strict LBBB criteria. Methods Retrospective single-center study conducted from Jan/2017 to Mar/2018. Patients undergoing both ECG and echocardiogram examinations were included. Ten criteria for ECG-based LVH were compared using LVH defined by the echocardiogram as the gold standard. Sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, likelihood ratios, AUC, and the Brier score were used to compare diagnostic performance and a decision curve analysis was performed. Results From 4621 screened patients, 68 were included, median age was 78.4 years, (IQR 73.3-83.4), 73.5% with hypertension. All ECG criteria failed to provide accurate discrimination of LVH with AUC range between 0.54 and 0.67, and no ECG criteria had a balanced tradeoff between sensitivity and specificity. No ECG criteria consistently improved the net benefit compared to the strategy of performing routine echocardiogram in all patients in the decision curve analysis within the 10-60% probability threshold range. Conclusion ECG-based criteria for LVH in patients with advanced age and true LBBB lack diagnostic accuracy or clinical usefulness and should not be routinely assessed.

    Clinical applicability and diagnostic performance of electrocardiographic criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy diagnosis in older adults
    (2021) TAVARES, Caio de Assis Moura; SAMESIMA, Nelson; HAJJAR, Ludhmila Abrahao; GODOY, Lucas C.; PADRAO, Eduardo Messias Hirano; LAZAR NETO, Felippe; FACIN, Mirella; JACOB-FILHO, Wilson; FARKOUH, Michael E.; PASTORE, Carlos Alberto
    Recently, a new ECG criterion, the Peguero-Lo Presti (PLP), improved overall accuracy in the diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH)-compared to traditional ECG criteria, but with few patients with advanced age. We analyzed patients with older age and examined which ECG criteria would have better overall performance. A total of 592 patients were included (83.1% with hypertension, mean age of 77.5 years) and the PLP criterion was compared against Cornell voltage (CV), Sokolow-Lyon voltage (SL) and Romhilt-Estes criteria (cutoffs of 4 and 5 points, RE4 and RE5, respectively) using LVH defined by the echocardiogram as the gold standard. The PLP had higher AUC than the CV, RE and SL (respectively, 0.70 vs 0.66 vs 0.64 vs 0.67), increased sensitivity compared with the SL, CV and RE5 (respectively, 51.9% [95% CI 45.4-58.3%] vs 28.2% [95% CI 22.6-34.4%], p<0.0001; vs 35.3% [95% CI 29.2-41.7%], p<0.0001; vs 44.4% [95% CI 38.0-50.9%], p=0.042), highest F1 score (58.3%) and net benefit for most of the 20-60% threshold range in the decision curve analysis. Overall, despite the best diagnostic performance in older patients, the PLP criterion cannot rule out LVH consistently but can potentially be used to guide clinical decision for echocardiogram ordering in low-resource settings.

    Diagnostic Accuracy of ECG to Detect Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Patients with Left Bundle Branch Block A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
    (2023) SOUZA, Isabela A. F. de; PADRAO, Eduardo M. H.; MARQUES, Isabela R.; MIYAWAKI, Isabele A.; LOYOLA JUNIOR, Jose Eduardo Riceto; MOREIRA, Vittoria Caporal S.; GOMES, Cintia; SILVA, Caroliny H.

    Background: Electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria to detect left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB) remain under debate. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of different ECG criteria for diagnosing LVH in patients with LBBB.Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and LILACS for articles evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of ECG criteria for LVH in patients with LBBB published between 1984 and 2023. Echocardiogram, magnetic resonance imaging, or autopsy were used as the reference standard for diagnosis of LVH. Risk of bias was assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2) tool. The co-primary outcomes were sensitivity, specificity, the diagnostic odds ratio, and likelihood ratios, estimated using a bivariate generalized linear mixed model for each ECG criterion. The prespecified protocol was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO).Results: We included 12 studies with a total of 1023 patients. We analyzed 10 criteria for LVH on ECG, including the Sokolow-Lyon criterion, the Cornell criterion, the RaVL (R wave in aVL) criterion, the Gubner-Ungerleider criterion, and the Dalfo criterion, among others. The Dalfo criterion was used for 487 patients and had the highest pooled sensitivity of 86% (95% confidence interval [CI] 57%-97%). All the other criteria had poor sensitivities. The Gubner-Ungerleider criterion and the RV5 or RV6 > 25 mm criterion had the highest specificities, with the former being used for 805 patients, obtaining a specificity of 99% (95% CI 80%-100%) and the latter being used for 355 patients, obtaining a specificity of 99% (95% CI 94%-100%). Conclusions: In patients with LBBB, the use of ECG criteria had poor performance for ruling out LVH, mostly due to low sensitivities. None of the criteria analyzed demonstrated a balanced tradeoff between sensitivity and specificity, suggesting that ECG should not be used routinely to screen for LVH.
