13. The ECG is valuable [for detection of LVH], at least in patients over 55 years of age. Electrocardiography can also be used to detect patterns of ventricular overload or ‘strain’, which indicates more severe risk, ischaemia, conduction abnormalities, left atrial dilatation and arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation. 2013 ESH/ESC Guidelines. J Hypertens 2013 Cardiac Damage

14. Echocardiography should be considered in hypertensive patients in different clinical contexts and with different purposes: in hypertensive patients at moderate total CV risk, it may refine the risk evaluation by detecting LVH undetected by ECG in hypertensive patients with ECG evidence of LVH it may more precisely assess the hypertrophy quantitatively and define its geometry and risk in hypertensive patients with cardiac symptoms, it may help to diagnose underlying disease. 2013 ESH/ESC Guidelines.
