The objective of the proposed project is to quantify the prevalence and disparities of undiagnosed left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in Emergency Department (ED) patients with persistently elevated asymptomatic BP, and to measure the effect of disclosure, education, and expedited referral on 3-month outpatient follow-up and treatment rates for ED patients with newly diagnosed LVH by POCUS. Additionally, investigators will create a database of annotated clips for future development of a machine learning algorithm for LVH detection on POCUS.
