Introduction: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. LVH defined by ECG (ECG-LVH) has been evaluated using standard voltage criteria by Sokolow and Lyon (SL-LVH) and more recently using the Cornell product criteria (CP-LVH). Evaluation of CP-LVH is beneficial in hypertensive patients: however, in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) whose incidence of cardiovascular events is higher than essential hypertension (EHT), there ...
