A Fortified Method to Screen and Detect Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Asymptomatic Hypertensive Adults: A Korean Retrospective, Cross-Sectional Study

Table 3

Diagnostic accuracy of the new model to detect left ventricular hypertrophy by echocardiography according to the scores of the new system.

	Sensitivity	Specificity	LR (+)	LR (-)
≥1	89.9%	23.7%	1.18	0.43
≥2	61.9%	72.1%	2.22	0.53
≥3	30.4%	92.9%	4.28	0.75
≥4	9.5%	98.4%	5.94	0.92

BMI, body mass index; CTR, cardiothoracic ratio; LR (+), positive likelihood ratio; LR (-), negative likelihood ratio; SLVA, Sokolow-Lyon voltage amplitude.
ge≥65 y, female, BMI≥25 kg/m², SLVA≥35 mm, and CTR≥0.50 were scored 1 for each.
