OBJECTIVE:: To estimate the prevalence and covariates of electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in the Hypertension in the Very Elderly Trial. METHODS:: A total of 2993 hypertensive people aged at least 80 years with technically codable ECGs without pacing, bundle branch block, or ECG myocardial infarction were studied. LVH was assessed using Sokolow-Lyon (SL-LVH), Cornell voltage (CV-LVH), and Cornell product criterion (CP-LVH). RESULTS:: The prevalence of LVH varied from 2.4 to 17.5% depending on sex, race, and ECG criterion. The highest prevalence of SL-LVH (12.0%) was in Chinese men and in white women for both CV-LVH (17.5%) and CP-LVH (12.9%). Increasing SBP was an independent covariate of the presence of LVH in Chinese women independently of the criterion used (ß?=?0.052-0.069, P?
