Abstract
Objective To investigate the accuracy rate of Echocardiography and ECG in the examination of patients with hypertensive heart disease and to explore a best diagnostic method. Methods 51 patients with hypertensive heart disease treated at our hospital from October, 2014 to December, 2015 were selected and examined by Echocardiography and ECG; and the results were compared and analyzed. Results The detection rates of aortic elasticity, aortic dilatation, left atrial enlargement, left ventricular enlargement, and left ventricular hypertrophy were 33.3% (17/51) , 54.9% (28/51) , 52.9% (27/51) , 51.0% (26/51) , and 51.0% (26/51) by B ultrasound and were 15.7% (8/51) , 23.5% (12/51) , 19.6% (10/51) , 19.6% (10/51) , and 19.6% (10/51) by ECG, with statistical differences (P<0.05) . The detection rates of heart rate change and left ventricular high voltage were 64.7% (33/51) and 68.6% (35/51) by ECG. Conclusion Echocardiography is more helpful in the diagnosis of hypertensive heart disease patients and is more sensitive to cardiac pathological changes, so it can be the first choice.
