Abstract
Echocardiographically diagnosed sixty cases of congestive cardiomyopathy were electrocardiographically analysed. None of the cases had normal electrocardiogram. The commonest rhythm disorder was premature ventricular contractions (P.V.C.-26.6%), and the commonest conduction disorder was left anterior hemi block (LAHB-17%). Nonspecific ST-T changes in the anterolateral leads was the most common electrocardiographic finding. No correlation was seen between electrocardiographic evidence of hypertrophy and echocardiographic evidence of cardiac enlargement.
