| Abstract | Extracardiac factors are known to influence electrocardiographic (ECG) features used in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) classification criteria. It is generally assumed that ECG amplitudes decrease with age and obesity. The authors examined the association between anthropometric variables and the standard 12-lead resting ECG of white, black and Hispanic men and women and found that, contrary to the expectations, many ECG amplitudes such as RaVL+SV3 increased with increasing body mass index (BMI) and changed little with age. As expected, obesity was associated with leftward shift of QRS axis. However, the leftward shift of about 8 degrees per decade of age was equally pronounced in overweight and normal-weight women and men. The apparent strong influence of chest size and configuration on ECG amplitudes is largely due to variations in body weight and heart size. Smaller QRS amplitudes in left lateral chest leads in women appear partially to be associated with the attenuating effect of the breast tissue. It is concluded that chest size and configuration, and body weight have a strong influence on ECG amplitudes used in LVH criteria and that this influence differs from lead to lead and the interactions are complex. Extracardiac anthropometric factors, age, gender, and ethnic differences need to be properly considered in order to improve LVH criteria and ECG models for left ventricular mass estimation.< |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
