    Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a significant predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

  • 2

    Traditional ECG criteria for LVH detection have low sensitivity, prompting research into computational approaches.

  • 3

    The study analyzed 11,692 ECG records using three feature sets and four classifiers to improve LVH detection.

  • 4

    XGBoost achieved the highest performance in LVH detection, with AUC values exceeding 0.98 for various feature sets.

  • 5

    SHAP analysis identified key ECG features and age as important predictors for interpretable LVH detection.
