Abstract

Objective To study the relationship between left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and arrhythmia in older patients with isolated systolic hypertension (OISH). Methods Echocardiogram and Holter were done in 96 OISH. The incidences of all kinds of arrhythmias in LVH and non LVH groups were compared. Results In 96 OISH 62 cases(64 6%) were found to have LVH and the incidences of complex atrial and ventricular arrhythmias in LVH group were 88 7% (55/62) and 77 4% (48/62) respectively, apparently higher than in non LVH group as 35 3%(12/34) and 32 4%(11/34, both P 0 01). Conclusions LVH in OISH was closely related to complex atrial and ventricular arrhythmias.
